Hydrazine Production By Ketazine Process

This report entails the detailed cost evaluation of hydrazine production by the Ketazine process. The synthesis begins with the chemical reaction between ammonia and chlorine in the presence of a ketone catalyst. In this reaction, acetone is utilized to catalyze the reaction and result in the production of ketazine as an intermediate compound. The intermediate is further hydrolyzed in the presence of water and leads to the formation of hydrazine as the final product.

Feedstocks for Hydrazine

Hydrazine is a reactive chemical compound prepared by using ammonia and chlorine as its major feedstocks. The procurement of hydrazine, along with its feedstocks, is influenced by factors including the availability of the raw materials (including natural gas, chlorine, etc.) and its demand in the downstream pharmaceutical, petrochemical, and agrochemical industries. Additionally, other factors such as its manufacturing costs, market prices, activities in its upstream industries, stability in the supply chain, logistics, trade, transportation, etc., altogether play a prominent role in governing its procurement.
