Safety Information
Use
Hydrazine hydrate is prepared by treating hydrazine sulfate, N2H4H2SO4 with sodium hydroxide. The product is collected by distillation under nitrogen. It also is obtained as a by-product in the Bayer Ketazine process for producing hydrazine in which hydrazine solution is hydrolysed under pressure in a ketazine column.
