In a process and apparatus for utilisation of an ammonia-containing waste gas stream from a semiconductor processing step, ammonia contained in the waste gas stream is decomposed, for example, in a reactor ( 3 ), into hydrogen and nitrogen, the gas stream so obtained is passed through a hydrogen separator ( 5 ) in order to separate hydrogen gas therefrom, the separated hydrogen gas is purified in a purifier ( 8 ), and the purified hydrogen gas is recycled for use in semiconductor processing. The process and apparatus allow efficient usage of semiconductor processing waste gases by permitting recycling of a component thereof.
