Research on anhydrous hydrazine synthesis; Recherche sur la synthese de l'hydrazine anhydre

Abstract

The first part of this work concerns the radiolysis of pure liquid ammonia. The fundamental importance of the dose rate and of the dose on the yield of radiolytic products has been demonstrated. By using a capture solute at concentrations of between 10{sup -3} and 1.2 mole s/litre, it has been possible to determine the yields of radicals and of molecules in the irradiated pure ammonia. During later work, it was possible to determine, by systematically varying the physico-chemical parameters, the most favorable conditions for carrying out the radiosynthesis; the maximum radiochemical yield of the hydrazine obtained has a value: G (N{sub 2}H{sub 4}) = 2.2/100 eV. An analysis of the molecular yields in the presence of deuterated solutes makes it possible to explain partially the role of the capture species. A project is also described for an installation producing hydrazine continuously; it is followed by an economic study of the process. From this work it appears that the yields of hydrazine obtained justify an industrial application, especially if strong radiation sources are available, for example nuclear reactors.

(author) [French] La premiere partie de l'etude a porte sur la radiolyse de l'ammoniac liquide pur. Le role fondamental du debit de dose et de la dose sur les rendements des produits de radiolyse a ete mise en evidence. L'emploi de solute capteur dont les concentrations sont comprises entre 10{sup -3} et 1,2 mole/litre, a permis de determiner la valeur des rendements radicalaires et moleculaires dans l'ammoniac pur irradie. Au cours d'une etape ulterieure, une variation systematique des parametres physico-chimiques a permis de determiner les conditions les plus favorables a la radiosynthese le rendement radiochimique maximum de l'hydrazine obtenu a pour valeur: G(N{sub 2}H{sub 4}) 2,2/100 eV. L'analyse des rendements moleculaires en presence de solutes deuteres nous permet de rendre compte partiellement du role des capteurs. Un projet d'une installation produisant en continu de l'hydrazine est egalement donne, suivi d'une etude economique du procede. Il ressort de cette etude que les rendements en hydrazine obtenus justifient une application industrielle surtout si l'on peut utiliser de fortes puissances d'irradiation, telles que celles fournies par les reacteurs nucleaires.
