A two-stage method of producing N2O5 in nitric acid from N2O4 in nitric acid consists of a first production stage in which the anodic oxidation of N2O4 in nitric acid and cathodic reduction of nitric acid are separated by a non-ionic or anionic ion exchange membrane, and a second production phase in which the product of the first stage anodic reaction is subjected to further anodic oxidation, the anodic and cathodic reactions being separated by a cationic ion exchange membrane. The use of a cationic membrane in the second stage promotes, through leakage of N2O4 to the catholyte an increase in N2O5 concentration and decrease in N2O4 concentration within the anolyte acid whilst avoiding a …

Why it's free to use
- Filed December 15, 1989 and granted December 14, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended December 15, 2009.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 15, 2011.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
