Apparatus and process for conversion of ammonia into oxides of nitrogen
Disclosed is an apparatus for conversion of ammonia into oxides of nitrogen which may comprise an adiabatic burner (108), a set of platinum/rhodium alloy catalytic gauzes (102A), (102B), and (102C), a waste heat recovery boiler (WHRB) (110), an absorption tower (302A), (302B), (302C), (302D) and (302E), a NaOH tank (306) and a surge tank (304). Further, the adiabatic burner may be configured to carry out catalytic oxidation of air and ammonia, using catalytic gauzes (102A), (102B), and (102C) of platinum/rhodium alloy. Further, the mixture of air and ammonia may be selectively oxidized to oxides of nitrogen, which may be absorbed in an alkali medium in the absorption tower (302A), (302B), (302C), (302D) and (302E), to yield sodium nitrites and nitrates.
STATIC MIXER
The present disclosure provides a static mixer for mixing two or more fluids together. The static mixer comprises a tubular body defining a mixing chamber in which spheroidal bodies are positioned. The spheroidal bodies are arranged sequentially within the mixing chamber, and their size and shape is selected so that they maintain a staggered formation. The tubular body can receive a flow of the two or more fluids at one end and convey them towards an opposite end where a mixed product can be provided. The arrangement of the spheroidal bodies can induce turbulence in the flow of the two or more fluids to mix them as they meander around the spheroidal bodies. The present disclosure further provides a method for mixing two or more fluids by the static mixer.
