✦ Synopsis

The conditions for electrolytic reduction of dilute nitric acid without the formation of ammonia, and without the addition of foreign substances, have been investigated. Dilute nitric acid is reduced at a graphite electrode at controlled potentials, nitrogen dioxide and carbon dioxide being the main products. A mechanism for this reduction is suggested.
