Title:

PRODUCTION OF NITROGEN OXIDES

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/115473

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for the manufacture of nitric oxide and/or nitrogen dioxide in which a plasma is formed from nitrogen and oxygen passed through gas inlets into a reaction chamber to create a vorticular flow in the reaction chamber. A source of microwave energy is used to energise the nitrogen and oxygen in a microwave transparent inner plasma containment cylinder to create the plasma.
