Abstract:
Dinitrogen tetroxide is produced by a catalytic oxidation of ammonia with air at atmospheric pressure followed by oxidation of the resultant nitrogen oxides by 50 to 70 percent HNO3. This increases the concentration of NO2 and results in formation of dilute HNO3. The NO2 is cooled and condensed by compression to at least four atmospheres at temperatures not below 8* C. to produce dinitrogen tetroxide in liquid phase and nitrogen dioxide in vapor phase. The latter is reacted with an excess of oxygen in the presence of the dilute nitric acid in the preceding step to produce nitric acid of 50 to 70 percent concentration which may be recycled to the step wherein the nitric oxide is oxidized by nitric acid. By the present process, the use of expensive and difficult-to-operate nitric acid concentrators is avoided.
Abstract:
REMOVAL OF PRACTICALLY ALL THE CHLORINE CONTENT FROM NITRIC ACID SOLUTIONS BY ADDING A SMALL QUANTITY OF DINITROGEN TETROXIDE AFTER THE BULK OF THE NITROSYL CHLORIDE HAS BEEN DRIVEN OFF. THUS, SEVERE CORROSION PROBLEMS ARE AVOIDED.
Abstract:
Apparatus for the continuous dehydration of aluminum fluoride hydrates consisting of a fluidized-bed furnace with a cylindrical furnace jacket and a perforated plate just above the base, a lid to which gas-heated jacket radiant tubes are fixed reaching vertically almost to the said plate each of the tubes being closed at one end and having a concentric inner tube with a burner in the interior and being of almost the same length as the jacket radiant tube as well as open at the bottom so that combustion gas issuing from said burner in the interior of said inner tube flows upward in the tip of the outer tube after a change of direction of 180*. Thus both the fluidized bed outside the jacket radiant tube and, via a recuperator, the air passed to the burner are warmed.
Abstract:
Pure malic acid is prepared by treating a crude malic acid solution in a liquid-liquid extraction with an organic solvent which is immiscible with the malic acid solution and possesses good solvent power for maleic acid and fumaric acid, but in which the malic acid is so much less soluble that the distribution coefficient Dc Cwater/Csolvent of malic acid bears a ratio of at least 4:1 to that of maleic acid, and subsequently isolating the malic acid from the purified solution.

Abstract:
PROCESS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF CHLORIDE-FREE HIGHSTRENGTH POTASSIUM AMMONIUM NITRATE PHOSPHATE FERTILISERS BY REACTION OF POTASSIUM CHLORIDE WITH LIQUID OR GASEOUS N2O4 AT A TEMPERATURE OF AT MOST 80*C. THE REACTION MEDIUM USED IS PHOSPHORIC ACID OR A MIXTURE OF PHOSPHORIC ACID AND NITRIC ACID. AFTER REMOVAL OF THE NITROSYL CHLORIDE FORMED AND NEUTRALISING THE RESULTING ACID/ POTASSIUM NITRATE SUSPENSION WITH AMMONIA THE MIXTURE IS SHAPED AND DRIED.
