Abstract

A process to perform an ammonia cracking reaction with a production of hydrogen includes the steps of; (a) providing an ammonia-containing feedstock and at least one fluidized bed reactor with at least two electrodes and a bed of particles; (b) putting the particles of the bed in a fluidized state to obtain a fluidized bed; (c) heating the fluidized bed to a temperature ranging from 250° C. to 1000° C. by passing an electric current through the fluidized bed. The particles of the bed include electrically conductive particles and particles of a catalytic composition. At least 10 wt. % of the particles are electrically conductive particles and have a resistivity ranging from 0.001 Ohm.cm to 500 Ohm.cm at 800° C. The catalytic composition includes one or more metallic compounds.
