Ostwald process

The Ostwald process is a chemical process used for making nitric acid (HNO₃).^[1] The Ostwald process is a mainstay of the modern chemical industry, and it provides the main raw material for the most common type of fertilizer production.^[2] Historically and practically, the Ostwald process is closely associated with the Haber process, which provides the requisite raw material, ammonia (NH₃).
