Abstract
Catalytic oxidation of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) with molecular oxygen over Pt/SiO2 was studied by in situ FTIR spectroscopy coupled with online MS monitoring of the gas phase. An unusual two-step oxidation process was detected in experiments with the pulse UDMH feeding: initial UDMH oxidation over a fresh platinum surface quickly terminates due to the blockage of active sites; a time-separated second oxidation step corresponds to combustion of the surface residue. This residue consists of CN nitrile groups formed via decomposition of the products of non-oxidative UDMH conversion, such as dimethylamine. The two-step oxidation picture is observed over a broad range of reaction temperatures and oxygen to UDMH ratios.
