Description
/ Background
The most common industrial process to produce nitrous oxide is by
thermally decompose ammonium nitrate.
Ammonium nitrate is decomposed in the melters to give
a mixture of nitrous oxide and super heated steam. At the same time, impurities
are produced, including ammonium nitrate fumes, nitrogen, and other oxides of
nitrogen. The steam and impurities are removed by scrubbing with water, caustic
soda and sulphuric acid in sequence.
Decomposition:
NH4NO3 ? N2O +
2H2O ?H = -59 KJ/g-mol (-315 BTU/lb)
The reaction is sensitive to temperature and must
be tightly controlled.
