Hydrazine Impurity Survey

Abstract

A study of the amounts of specific contaminants present in propellant grade (Mil Spec) hydrazine obtained from a number of users has been carried out. A total of twenty-four samples from twelve user groups was analyzed. The contaminants examined included particulate materials, organic impurities, water, carbon dioxide, metals and chloride. The level of particulate contamination, the particle size distribution and approximate identification of chemical types were established by appropriate techniques. Major metal contaminants were determined by atomic absorption and trace metal contaminants were determined by emission spectroscopy. Other contaminants were assayed by gas chromatographic, ultraviolet spectroscopic or colorimetric techniques.
