Production of cis-Na₂N₂O₂ and NaNO₃ by Ball Milling Na₂O and N₂O in Alkali Metal Halide Salts.

ABSTRACT: Ball milling of sodium oxides and alkali metal halide salts under a pressure of 2 atm nitrous oxide at temperatures of 38 ± 4 °C is reported. After 2.5 h of ball milling, FTIR data for both ¹⁴N₂O and ¹⁵N₂O additions show conclusively that cis-Na₂N₂O₂ is formed based on excellent agreement with data reported earlier by Jansen and Feldmann who prepared pure crystalline cis-Na₂N₂O₂ by reaction of sodium oxide and nitrous oxide for 2 h at 360 °C in a tube furnace. Continued ball milling under nitrous oxide leads to slow buildup of NaNO₃ with yields on the order of 24% achieved in 20 h. Production of nitrate only occurs during active ball milling.
