Reaktionsschritte

Currently, the KSC oxidizer scrubbers react nitrogen tetroxide and/or nitrogen dioxide with nominally 25-wt. % sodium hydroxide, which produces sodium nitrate, sodium nitrite, and nitric oxide. The spent caustic scrubber liquor could be used as a fertilizer once the pH is adjusted; however, substitution of potassium hydroxide for sodium hydroxide increases the commercial value of the scrubber liquor as a fertilizer.
