ABSTRACTGas-phase intercalation of graphite by nitric acid is a one-step process. The weight uptake of the sample is a function of nitric acid vapor pressure. A pure second stage compound was formed when the HNO3 reservoir was maintained at 17°C. Only a fourth stage compound was formed when the acid was kept at 0°C. The product gases due to intercalation and gas species evolved during deintercalation were analyzed by mass spectrometry. NO2 and H2O were the major components detected from the intercalation product gases. A small amount of oxygen was also present. The existence of O2 is probably due to the photo-chemical decomposition of nitric acid. As such, the photodecomposition of nitric acid is not a contributory factor in the intercalation chemistry.

The work is devoted to the study of the possibilities of minimizing the release of nitrogen oxides during the dissolution of silver in nitric acid solutions during refining of the gold and silver alloy. Using a rotating disk, the maximum concentration of nitric acid is determined, at which the oxidation potential of the system is insufficient for the oxidation of silver. It has been established that at a temperature of 363 K and a concentration of HNO3 = 50 g/l, the dissolution rate of silver does not exceed 0.00022∙10-5 mol/(cm2∙s), and such conditions can be considered as background for an environmentally friendly process. To initiate dissolution, hydrogen peroxide was used as an alternative oxidizing agent. As a criterion for the rational use of the oxidant and the ecological purity of the process, the excess pressure over the solution was evaluated. The influence of the initial and current composition of the solution, temperature, and conditions of oxidant supply to the reactor on the kinetics of the target process was studied. It is shown that at a silver dissolution rate of 2.7∙10-6 mol/(cm2∙s), no release of nitrogen oxides was observed.
