摘要:
The invention relates to a method for oxidising ammonia with oxygen in the presence of catalysts containing at least one transition metal oxide that is not an oxide of a platinum metal. The ratio of the molar quantities of oxygen and ammonia at the entry of the reactant gas mixture into the catalyst bed is set to values of less than or equal to 1.75 mol O 2 /mol NH 3 . The invention further relates to a system for oxidising ammonia, containing the following elements: A) a reactor (3) for ammonia oxidation equipped with at least one feed line for a reactant gas mixture and with at least one discharge line for a process gas, B) a catalyst (3c) in the interior of the reactor (3) that contains at least one transition metal oxide that is not an oxide of a platinum metal, C) a device for setting a molar ratio of oxygen to ammonia less than or equal to 1.75 mol/mol in the reactant gas mixture by mixing an oxygen-containing gas flow having an O 2 content
