Background:

Nitric Acid and Aniline are good hypergolic mixture that can be used as rocket propellants, especially during testing stage.

However, this requires high purity Nitric acid (~95%), and purchasing Nitric acid with this level of purity can be very expensive, costing Rs 25,000 to 67,000 per litre. - https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/IN/en/product/mm/100455

Project Goals

We want to manufacture Nitric Acid in house using any of the know production methods. Since this is for testing purposes, we need to produce about 1 litre per day, hence a small lab scale setup would suffice.

We want to setup a small lab scale facility that can
