Abstract

Abstract : The Ru/ZSM-5 catalyst was shown to be an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for decomposition of hydroxylamine nitrate and hydrazine nitrate. The catalyst could be recovered by filtration and reused, showing good potential for industrial application. Abstract : Hydroxylamine nitrate and hydrazine nitrate are dangerous explosives and toxic chemicals. Catalytic decomposition is an efficient way for disposal of these chemicals. In the current work, a Ru/ZSM-5 catalyst has been fabricated and evaluated for the decomposition of hydroxylamine nitrate and hydrazine nitrate in 1.0 mol L −1 HNO3 . The hydroxylamine nitrate and hydrazine nitrate can be thoroughly decomposed under 80 °C. And the Ru/ZSM-5 catalyst can be separated from the reaction mixture and reused at least 130 times with stable catalytic performance. Easy operation, less solid waste generation, and a simple catalytic device make the strategy reported here practical, environmentally friendly, and economically attractive.
