Abstract
A method for synthesizing hydrazine and hydrogen peroxide employing water, hydrogen, and nitrogen as reactants.
Claims5
Method of a combined synthesis of hydrazine and hydrogen peroxide, under utilization of water and nitrogen, comprising:
- electrolytically generating an electron donor and an electron acceptor in the form of an alkali metal and its peroxide by way of electrolysis of alkali-oxide carried out at an elevated temperature;
- reacting a first portion of the alkali-peroxide with water to produce the hydrogen-peroxide by hydrolisis, alkali-hydroxide being an additional reaction product;
- reacting a second portion of the alkali-peroxide with molten alkali-amide to produce hydrazine and first alkali-oxide;
- using some of the alkali metal as produced pursuent to the said generating step, as well as requisite quantities of nitrogen and hydrogen, to produce the alkali amide;
- generating the hydrogen to be used in the preceding step from the alkali-hydroxide and some of the alkali metal as generated, resulting in second alkali-oxide;
- and using said first and second alkali-oxide in the electrolytic generating step.
