Abstract
A new technique is suggested for processing industrial monitoring data for HCN synthesis by the oxidative ammonolysis of methane (Andrussow process). A mathematical model of the process is constructed using the Brandon method. Monitoring data processing by the suggested technique afforded results that are more reliable and informative than the results of laboratory experiments. The results obtained allowed the Andrussow process to be optimized.
