ABSTRACT:
An improved process for the vapor phase nitration of methane comprising delivering preheated (1000.degree.-1250.degree. F.) methane at a flow rate of not less than 20,000 SCFH into a reaction chamber of 3.334 inches in diameter maintained at about 950.degree. F., delivering nitric acid into the reaction chamber through a plurality of orifices perpendicularly mounted with respect to the methane flow, whereat the nitric acid vaporizes, mixes with the methane and reacts therewith, and exiting the reaction mixture after a reaction time of 30 to 250 milliseconds and recovering nitromethane from the reaction mixture.
