The Second Conference on the Environmental Chemistry of Hydrazine Fuels; 15 February 1979.
Abstract
On 15 February 1979, the AF Engineering and Services Laboratory, AFESC, Tyndall AFB, Florida, hosted a conference on the environmental chemistry of the hydrazine fuels. Ten papers were presented on various subtopics, which were: (A) Environmental Impact and Assessment of Hydrazine Fuel Usage. (B) Environmental Toxicology. (C) Environmental Monitoring and Disposal of Hydrazines. (D) Environmental Modeling and Chemistry of Hydrazine. The subtitles reflect a wide range of subjects. In Section A the use of H-70 (70 percent hydrazine) in the emergency power unit of the F-16, hydrazine on the space shuttle, and a fuel transportation risk analysis were discussed; in Section B, the toxicity of the hydrazines to selected bacteria and other organisms. This was followed by monitoring of hydrazine fuels vapor by chemiluminescence, and waste disposal by ozonation and chlorinolysis. The conference finished with a presentation on hydrazine spill modeling with estimations of hazard corridors and a summary of environmental physical-chemical properties of the hydrazine fuels.
