Nitric acid recovery from nitriding processes

Recovery process for nitric acid sulphuric acid and oxides of nitrogen is claimed. The process is used in the prodn. of dinitroluene (DNT) by nitration of toluene or mononitrotoluene (MNT). The process comprises a multi-stage countercurrent extn. of the crude (I) with a dilute aq. soln. of NHO3, H2S...

Zusammenfassung:Recovery process for nitric acid sulphuric acid and oxides of nitrogen is claimed. The process is used in the prodn. of dinitroluene (DNT) by nitration of toluene or mononitrotoluene (MNT). The process comprises a multi-stage countercurrent extn. of the crude (I) with a dilute aq. soln. of NHO3, H2SO4 and nitrous acid such that (i) the vol. ratio DNT: aq. soln. is 1:3-10:1, pref. 1-4:1; and (ii) the aq. extract is recycled for the nitration process directly or after concentration.
