Title: CU(II): catalyzed hydrazine reduction of ferric nitrate

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5658572· OSTI ID:5658572

A method is described for producing ferrous nitrate solutions by the cupric ion-catalyzed reduction of ferric nitrate with hydrazine. The reaction is complete in about 1.5 hours at 40/sup 0/C. Hydrazoic acid is also produced in substantial quantities as a reaction byproduct.
