    Nitric Acid Production Otswald Process: Raw Materials

    Uploaded by

    yvcg
    The document discusses the Otswald process for producing nitric acid using ammonia and oxygen over a platinum catalyst in a converter. The reaction produces nitric oxide gas which is then cooled and absorbed in an absorption tower using water to produce nitric acid. Nitric acid is a strong acid and oxidizer with many industrial uses and is produced on a large scale through this process.
