Article Synopsis
The State Institute for the Nitrogen Industry is one of the oldest industrial branches of the research and engineering institutes in Russia and the former U.S.S.R., and in 1991 the Institute celebrated its sixtieth anniversary. This paper gives a brief overview of the main results of work carried out by GIAP alone and in co-operation with other organisations over the past 50 years on the optimisation of the production of non-concentrated nitric acid. In particular developments to reduce the amounts of platinum group metals used in ammonia oxidation and waste gas cleaing, and ways to reduce platinum group metal losses are discussed.
