Chemistry of the Hypochlorite Neutralization of Hydrazine Fuels.

DE88002971

Publication Date	1987
Personal Author	Brubaker, K. L.
Page Count	11
Abstract	Neutralization of hydrazine fuels with hypochlorite is a recommended procedure for the treatment of fuel spills prior to disposal. Various research workers have shown, however, that incomplete reaction of hypochlorite with the methylated hydrazine fuels monomethylhydrazine and unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine leads to a wide variety of byproducts, including N-nitrosoalkylamines. The known reaction products and mechanisms are reviewed and summarized. 23 refs. (ERA citation 13:011177)
Keywords	Hydrazine Propellants Chemical Spills Hypochlorous Acid Chemical Reaction Yield Anions By-Products Chemical Reaction Kinetics Chemical Reactions Decomposition Fuels Nitrosamines Organic Compounds Oxidation Oxidizers Reaction Intermediates Reviews Waste disposal ERDA/090300 ERDA/400201
Source Agency	Technical Information Center Oak Ridge Tennessee
NTIS Subject Category	68C - Solid Wastes Pollution & Control 97K - Fuels 79A - Ammunition, Explosives, & Pyrotechnics
