Introduced: September 1968

Description

C01C covers the production, purification, and chemical compounds of ammonia and cyanogen, along with their derivatives. This includes synthetic ammonia manufacture, ammonia recovery processes, and the preparation of cyanides, isocyanides, and related nitrogen-containing compounds. The subclass encompasses both industrial synthesis methods and laboratory-scale preparation techniques for ammonia and cyanogen-based products used in fertilizers, chemicals, and pharmaceutical synthesis.

Glossary

Direct bonding Requires a bond between two adjacent atoms. Inorganic compound inorganic compounds A compound devoid of a carbon atom and containing a non-metallic element or a compound containing a carbon atom, and satisfying one of the following criteria: the compound cannot have a carbon atom having direct bonding to another carbon atom; or the compound cannot have direct bonding between a carbon atom and a halogen or hydrogen atom; or the compound cannot have direct bonding between a carbon atom and a nitrogen atom by a single or double bond. The following are exceptions to the above and are to be considered as inorganic compounds: compounds consisting of only carbon atoms, (e.g. fullerenes), cyanogen, cyanogen halides, cyanamide, phosgene, thiophosgene, hydrocyanic acid, isocyanic acid, isothiocyanic acid, fulminic acid, unsubstituted carbamic acid, and salts of the previously mentioned acids and which contain the same limitations as to a carbon atom. Moiety A specific part of a molecule. Preparation Preparations Covers synthesis, purification, separation, stabilisation or use of additives, unless a separate place is provided in the classification scheme.
