Sierka, R A; Cowen, W F

This research centered on the treatment of aqueous solutions of hydrazine (H), monomethylhydrazine (MMH), and unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) by ozone. A parametric study was conducted to evaluate the effect of solution concentration and pH, the two catalysts ultraviolet (UV) light and ultrasonics, reactor inlet ozone gas phase concentration and superficial gas velocity. The objectives of this research were (1) to establish the stoichiometry and kinetics of the ozone oxidation of H, MMH, and UDMH in aqueous solution; (2) to identify the partial oxidation products from the ozone oxidation of hydrazine fuels; (3) to accomplish toxicity testing of the ozone treated wastewaters with fathead minnows and Daphnia magna.
