Abstract:In this paper ,the progress of purification technology for ultra-clean and high-purity nitric acid o-ver past few years was reviewed .The advantages and disadvantages with respect to different purification methods ,such as simple distillation , rectification ,vacuum distillation ,sub-boiling distillation and mem-brane separation ,were compared during the purification of ultra-clean and high-purity nitric acid .At pres-ent ,w t have to overcome the difficulty that emerged in the preparation technology of ultra-clean and high-purity nitric acid in china ,such as great energy consumption and unstable product quality .It was pointed out that the integration of different technology and membrane separation technology will be the trend for nitric acid purification .
