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.
