Abstract
Abstract A process is described for the production of hydroxylamine, or hydroxylamine salts, from the reduction of nitrogen monoxide with hydrogen in an acid liquid reaction medium in one reactor in the presence of a noble-metal catalyst, wherein explosive gaseous mixture compositions are avoided by maintaining the presence of an inert gas at a level of between 10% and 80% by volume, and whereby the process is conducted at elevated pressures of between about 1500 and 5000 kPa.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
In a process for the preparation of a hydroxylamine salt by reaction of nitrogen monoxide with hydrogen in an acid liquid reaction medium, and in the presence of a noble-metal catalyst suspended in the reaction medium, with recirculation of part of the gaseous mixture discharged from the reactor, the improvement wherein said reaction is conducted in a single reactor zone and during the said reduction a gaseous reaction mixture is maintained with from 10 to 80% by volume of inert gas, while the total pressure ranges between 1000 and 5000 kPa whereby hydroxylamine is produced and the gaseous reaction mixture is non-explosive.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
102 words
In a process for the preparation of a hydroxylamine salt by reaction of nitrogen monoxide with hydrogen in an acid liquid reaction medium, and in the presence of a noble-metal catalyst suspended in the reaction medium, with recirculation of part of the gaseous mixture discharged from the reactor, the improvement wherein said reaction is conducted in a single reactor zone and during the said reduction a gaseous reaction mixture is maintained with from 10 to 80% by volume of inert gas, while the total pressure ranges between 1000 and 5000 kPa whereby hydroxylamine is produced and the gaseous reaction mixture is non-explosive.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein the total pressure ranges between 1500 and 3500 kPa during the reduction.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
41 words
The process according to either of the claims 1 and 2, wherein during the reduction the partial pressure of the hydrogen ranges between 350 and 1650 kPa and the partial pressure of the nitrogen monoxide ranges between 50 and 160 kPa.
