Abstract:
Described herein is an improved conversion of nitrous oxide (N 2 O) present as a by-product in a chemical process to NO x  which can be further converted to a useful compound or material, such as nitric acid.

Claim (Index 1):
A process for preparing adipic acid, comprising:\n reacting at least one of cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol with nitric acid to produce adipic acid and an offgas comprising at least 10 mol % nitrous oxide (N 2 O); converting the N 2 O present in the offgas to nitrogen oxide (NO x ) (x=1 or 2) in a yield of greater than 15% by passing the offgas through a reactor operating at a temperature of 2200\u00b0 F. or greater; converting the NO x  to nitric acid; and optionally recycling the nitric acid to produce additional adipic acid.
