Description
Nitrous oxide (E942) — a gas made by thermal decomposition of technical-grade ammonium nitrate at ~250 °C (c1; the nitrate's raw material is ammonia from natural gas c2 or from biomethane of vinasse and filter cake c3, c4). Stabilisers — ammonium phosphates and phosphoric acid (c5, c6 — host E338); purification — caustic permanganate, acid, water (c7), driers (c8), activated carbon (c9, bone variant c10).
