“…Another technique is to take advantage of the fact that the reaction between gaseous nitric oxide and chlorine can be catalyzed by materials such as activated charcoal or alumina, which provide a large surface area. Such procedures have been described (101,159,160,495) and used by numerous workers (92,369,563). In this method purified gaseous nitric oxide and chlorine are passed through the moderately heated catalyst bed (e.g., 40-50°C.)…”
