Procedure

In other known process, the sodium nitrate is reacted with sulfuric acid in order to be transformed on nitric acid which is then reacted with ammonium in order to produce ammonium nitrate and sodium sulfate which is separated by crystallization. This process is only suitable when there are plenty of cheap disposals of sodium nitrate and sulfuric acid available and when the cost of the sodium sulfate is very high.
