Methods for producing hydrogen from ammonia are described. The methods involve the use of a two-stage hydrogen PSA configuration. The effluent stream from the ammonia cracking reaction zone is sent to the first hydrogen PSA unit where it is separated into a high purity, high-pressure hydrogen stream and a low-pressure tail gas stream. The high-pressure hydrogen stream can be recovered. The low-pressure tail gas stream is compressed and sent to the second hydrogen PSA unit where it is separated into a second high-pressure stream and a second low-pressure tail gas stream. The second high-pressure hydrogen stream can be recycled to the first hydrogen PSA unit for further separation.
