FIELD: industrial inorganic synthesis. ^ SUBSTANCE: process comprises passing nitrogen and hydrogen-containing synthesis gas stream through three stacked catalyst beds, wherein catalyst is based on iron with magnetite as principal constituent, which is reduced during the process until catalytically active form of alpha-iron is produced. Above-mentioned synthesis gas stream is obtained by combining stream directly supplied onto first catalyst bed with another stream, which is preheated via indirect heat exchange with products exiting first and second catalyst beds, whereupon product is recovered. Method is characterized by that gas under treatment is passed through middle catalyst bed at volume flow rate between 0.65 and 2.00 value of volume flow rate, at which gas under treatment is passed through upper catalyst bed, volume ratio of middle catalyst bed to upper catalyst bed lying preferably between 0.5 and 1.5. ^ EFFECT: increased yield of product. ^ 2 cl, 1 dwg, 1 tbl |
