The Autoxidation of Monomethylhydrazine Vapor.

Abstract

Results of experiments simulating atmospheric autoxidation of monomethylhydrazine vapor are presented. MMH partial pressures ranged from a few ppm to a few Torr and all experiments were run at room temperature. Results show that the main products of MMH autoxidation in air are formaldehyde monomethylhydrazine, methane, methanol, nitrogen and water. The reaction rate appears to be heterogeneously controlled with surface activity and surface to volume ratio being important facotrs. MMH half life ranged from two to seven hours. (Author)
