Manufacture of Hydrazine Hydrate
Introduction
IICT developed eco-friendly ammonia & hydrogen peroxide
route alternate to urea based technology which is creating
effluent problem. Hydrazine Hydrate technology developed
by IICT is cost effective and eco-friendly process.
Higher volume capacity plants are to be set up i.e.
5000 tpa & above for economic viability. In this
process, chlorine which is used as oxidizing agent in
other processes is replaced with hydrogen peroxide.
The process involves oxidation of ammonia with Hydrogen
peroxide in presence of nitrile or amide group to form
an azine which further hydrolyzed to give hydrazine
hydrate.
Applications
As rocket fuel in space
application.
As energy source in fuel
cells.
As blowing agent in plastic
industry.
In boilers-used as oxygen
scavenger for boiler feed water in energy industry.
Prevention of corrosion in
boilers by formation of a magnetite corrosion "shield"
in boiler surface.
In synthesis of organic nitrogen
compounds which are very useful intermediates in drugs
7 pharmaceutical industries.
In making herbicides
& pesticides in agro-industry.
