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.

The invention provides a nitrogenous gas sustained releasing agent that is capable of sustainably releasing off nitrogenous gases in the air at normal temperature and safe to handle and a nitrogenous gas sustained releaser composed of the same as well as a nitrogenous gas sustained releasing method, respiratory equipment, a package and a nitrogenous gas sustained releasing apparatus using said sustained releaser. The nitrogenous gas sustained releasing agent contains a layered double hydroxide having nitrite ions (NO.sub.2.sup.−) and/or nitrate ions (NO.sub.3.sup.−) included between layers. The nitrogenous gas sustained releaser composed of the sustained releasing agent is exposed to a gas containing carbon dioxide and water vapor to induce any one or more processes of sustained release of nitrous acid, self-decomposition of nitrous acid, oxidization/reduction of nitrous acid, and reduction of nitrite ions/nitrate ions thereby sustainably releasing off nitrogenous gases.

The present disclosure describes about a free flowing sodium nitrite and a method (200) of obtaining the free flowing for sodium nitrite. The method (200) may comprise various steps such as optimizing (202) the concentration of SNI, heating (206) of sodium nitrite slurry at 50 to 600 rpm, gradually cooling (208) the heated mass below 45° C., filtering (210) the wet mass, drying a filtered mass (212), and sieving (214) the dried mass to obtain the free flowing sodium nitrite comprising a spherical or oval shape granules. The spherical or oval shaped granules of SNI obtained has a moisture content of less than 0.15%, mesh size of more than 60 BSS in an amount 60-80% of the total content the particle size of at least 0.25 mm in an amount 60-80% of the total content, angle of repose between 25° to 37° and Hausner ratio of 1.03 to 1.17.
