  Verfahren zur Gewinnung von Salpetersäure aus den bei der Behandlung von Luft- 
 EMI1.1 
 



   Die zahlreichen Verfahren, die zur Oxydation des atmosphärischen Stickstoffs mittels elektrischer Entladungen vorgeschlagen worden sind,   ermöglichen   es sämtlich, die Luft nur mit etwa 2 bis 40/0 Stickoxyd anzureichern. Das erhaltene Stickoxyd wird bisher nach seiner freiwilligen Umwandlung in Stickstoffdioxyd in   Absorptionsstürmen   von gewaltigen   Grössenverhältnissen   mit Wasser zusammengebracht und so in Salpetersäure umgewandelt. 



  Dieses Verfahren erfordert nicht nur durch seine Grösse kostspielige Apparate, sondern es lässt auch nur einen ganz geringen Teil der Stickoxyde in Form von   500 ! oiger   Salpetersäure gewinnen ; der weitaus grössere Teil muss erst einem teuren Konzentrationsprozess unterworfen werden. Die vorliegende Erfindung will diese   Übelstände   auf folgendem Wege vermeiden. Die Stickoxyde werden in   geeigneten, verhältnismässig kleinen Apparaten durch   ein schwach basisches Oxyd absorbiert, das dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass sein   salpetrig-   saures Salz bei erhöhter Temperatur wieder leicht in seine Komponenten zerfällt.

   NähenUntersuchungen haben gezeigt, dass die Oxyde des Zinks, Kupfers, der seltenen Erden, allenfalls auch noch des Magnesiums, Bleies für diesen Zweck ausserordentlich gut geeignet sind. Die Absorption der Stickoxyde erfolgt sehr schnell und fast absolut, und sofern man für ein Umrühren des zweckmässig gepulverten Materiales sorgt, bis zur Bildung der neutralen Salze. Ist dieses Stadium erreicht, so werden die erhaltenen Salze in eisernen
Retorten langsam bis auf   6000   erhitzt, wobei sie die absorbierten Stickoxyde ais reine 
 EMI1.2 
   Uaodelssäure   verarbeitet, oder   als Untersalpetersäure   kondensiert und als solche verwendet werden. 



   Eine andere   Ausführungsform   dieses Verfahrens ist dadurch gegeben, dass man das Abtreiben der Stickoxyde im Vakuum vornimmt. Man bedarf in diesem Falle Einer um vieles geringeren Temperatur bei gleichzeitiger Beschleunigung der Zersetzung, womit eine Ersparnis an   Heizmaterial   verbunden ist.

  Process for the production of nitric acid from the treatment of air
 EMI1.1
 



   The numerous methods that have been proposed for the oxidation of atmospheric nitrogen by means of electrical discharges all make it possible to enrich the air with only about 2 to 40/0 nitrogen oxide. The nitrogen oxide obtained has so far been brought together with water after its voluntary conversion into nitrogen dioxide in absorption towers of enormous proportions and thus converted into nitric acid.



  This process not only requires expensive equipment due to its size, but it also leaves only a very small part of the nitrogen oxides in the form of 500! win oiger nitric acid; the much larger part must first be subjected to an expensive concentration process. The present invention aims to avoid these inconveniences in the following way. The nitrogen oxides are absorbed in suitable, relatively small apparatus by a weakly basic oxide, which is characterized by the fact that its nitrous acid salt easily disintegrates into its components again at elevated temperature.

   Sewing investigations have shown that the oxides of zinc, copper, rare earths, possibly also magnesium, and lead are extremely well suited for this purpose. The nitrogen oxides are absorbed very quickly and almost absolutely, and provided that the appropriately powdered material is stirred, until the neutral salts are formed. When this stage is reached, the salts obtained become iron
Retorts slowly heated to 6000, leaving the absorbed nitrogen oxides pure
 EMI1.2
   Uaodelic acid processed, or condensed as sub-nitric acid and used as such.



   Another embodiment of this process is that the nitrogen oxides are driven off in a vacuum. In this case one needs a much lower temperature with simultaneous acceleration of the decomposition, which is connected with a saving of heating material.
