Modeling of ammonia oxidation on a platinoid catalyst, taking into account the N2O formation

摘要

A mathematical model of ammonia oxidation on a platinoid catalyst, taking into account the N2O formation, was developed. The possibilities of lowering the amount of N2O, which is formed as by-product in high-temperature oxidation of ammonia in nitric acid production, are examined. The developed model allows calculation of the reactor for ammonia oxidation using platinoid catalysts of different geometric profiles.
