MANUFACTURING OF  CONCENTRATED NITRIC ACID (CNA)

EIRI/EDPR/4865 J.C.3086

Nitric acid (HNO3) is a highly corrosive mineral acid and powerful oxidizing agent. It occurs in nature only in the form of nitrate salts. The pure compound is a colorless liquid, but tends to acquire a yellow cast, if stored for long, due to the accumulation of oxides of nitrogen. Most commercially available nitric acid has a concentration of 55- 70%, being centrally used in the production of nitrogen fertilizers, nylon and explosives.

Nitric acid (HNO3), also known as aqua fort is and spirit of niter, is a highly corrosive and toxic strong mineral acid which is normally colorless but tends to acquire a yellow cast due to the accumulation of oxides of nitrogen if long-stored. Ordinary nitric acid has a concentration of 68%. When the solution contains more than 86% HNO3, it is referred to as fuming nitric acid. Depending on the amount of nitrogen dioxide present, fuming nitric acid is further characterized as white fuming nitric acid or red fuming nitric acid, at concentrations above 95%. 

Nitric acid is also commonly used as a strong oxidizing agent. The earliest known written description of the method of synthesizing nitric acid is credited to the alchemist Jabir ibnhayyan (Geber), later a Dutch chemist, Johann Rudolf Glauber, was the first to make nitric by distillation of saltpeter with sulfuric acid , or oil of vitriol as he called it, the product (sodium sulfate decahydrate) is named "Glauber salt "to commemorate him. Aqua regia (Latin for royal water) is one of the chemicals the ancient scientists concocted. It is a highly corrosive, fuming yellow or red solution.
