ABSTRACT:
The subject of the invention is a grid of precious metals for the recovery of platinum metals escaping from a catalyst during the reaction of oxidation of ammonia in the production process of nitric oxide.
In the reactions conducted in the presence of the catalysts containing platinum metals at the incandesence temperature a loss in the mass of precious metals occurs, which disadvantageously effects the economy of the process.
For the recovery of platinum escaping from a catalyst during the reaction of oxidation of ammonia the grids mainly used are those made of palladium-gold alloy, which, in order to increase their strength, are spot-welded into packs, or the separating grids of heat-resisting materials are used.
The known methods of increasing the strength and the durability of the recovery grids are disadvantageous, as the flow of reactants through a pack of grids meets additional resistance, which causes a decrease of the process effectiveness.
The grid according to the invention is characterized by a different thickness of wires in the weave of the grid made of the same precious metals which are used for the recovery of platinum metals. The wires of various thickness are applied, depending on the type of the catalytic process.
