Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Nitric Acid (65 wt%) production from ammonia. The process examined is a typical High Pressure process. In this process, ammonia is initially oxidized to nitric oxide at high pressure (7 - 12 bar abs). Then, nitric oxide is oxidized to form nitrogen dioxide, and absorbed (at the same pressure) by water producing 65 wt% Nitric Acid. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Keywords: Nitric Acid, Ostwald Process, Single Pressure, High Pressure, Ammonia Absorption, HNO3
