Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8100397A1] Process for the reconstitution of NO<uX>u gases to nitric acid comprising the steps of 1. contacting the NO<uX>u gases in countercurrent relationship in one or more packed columns with cooled 50 to 60 percent nitric acid to remove as nitric acid a major portion of the originally introduced NO<uX>u values and provide an acid solution leaving the column having a temperature below about 180`F; 2. compressing the residual gases from step 1 to from about 2 to about 6 atmospheres absolute; and 3. contacting the compressed gases from step 2 with from about 50 to about 60 percent nitric acid in packed absorption column in counter-current relationship to remove substantially all of the remaining NO<uX>u values from the gas stream.
