abstract = "It is little more than fifty years since the first manufacture of nitric acid by the oxidation of ammonia over a platinum catalyst. Ostwalds original industrial plant had an output of some 100 tons of acid a year; today the world capacity for nitric acid manufacture by this process
is about ten million tons a year. This article traces the beginnings and early developments of the process until it became commercially established.",
