Simulation of the ammonia oxidation process over an oxide monolith catalyst

A mathematical model of ammonia oxidation over an oxide monolith honeycomb catalyst has been developed. Experimental data from a pilot unit operating under process conditions equal to those in a type UKL-7 commercial nitric acid plant were used to refine the parameters of the mathematical model.

Summary:A mathematical model of ammonia oxidation over an oxide monolith honeycomb catalyst has been developed. Experimental data from a pilot unit operating under process conditions equal to those in a type UKL-7 commercial nitric acid plant were used to refine the parameters of the mathematical model. The results from calculating the NO yield are in satisfactory agreement with the pilot unit data. There is now computer program that allows us to calculate the conditions of an industrial reactor functioning.
