Abstract

In a process for producing nitric acid, a mixture of oxygen, nitrogen, nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, and dinitrogen tetroxide is introduced into an absorption column into which cold oxygen (below 0.degree. C.) is introduced. H.sub.2 O is introduced into the upper reaches of the column and reacts with the nitrogen dioxide and dinitrogen tetroxide to form nitric acid. The low oxygen temperature helps to shift the equilibrium between nitric oxide and oxygen to dinitrogen tetroxide and in favor of reacting the latter with water to form nitric acid.
