A New Strategy for the Synthesis of Monomethylhydrazine Using the Raschig Process

Abstract

A new strategy for the development of monomethylhydrazine (MMH) using the Raschig process is discussed in this publication. The determination of optimal conditions for the synthesis of MMH required the development of a kinetic model. In order to validate the results of the calculation, a device for synthesis under pressure (13 bar) by direct injection of the stoichiometric monochloramine, synthesized using microreactor technology, into monomethylamine (MMA) was developed. The experimental data, in accordance with the theoretical results of the kinetic model, make it possible to establish a new process for the synthesis of monomethylhydrazine.
