Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a process for removing and recovering nitrating acid mixtures, in particular nitric acid, sulphuric acid and oxides of nitrogen, from the nitrated crude products occurring in the nitration of nitratable aromatic compounds after the nitrating acid has been separated off, by acidic scrubbing by means of a multistage extraction process, the extraction process comprising a cross-flow extraction with downstream countercurrent extraction. The process permits essentially complete recovery of the abovementioned acids, including the oxides of nitrogen, in high concentrations, so that they can be recycled to the nitration and no longer pollute the wastewater.
