Description
Summary:In this proof of concept study, the ionic liquids, 2-hydroxyethylhydrazinium nitrate and 2-hydroxyethylhydrazinium dinitrate, ignited on contact with preheated Shell 405 (iridium supported on alumina) catalyst and energetically decomposed with no additional ignition source, suggesting a possible route to hydrazine replacements. Ionic liquid nitrate salts of 2-hydroxyethylhydrazinium ignite on contact with the solid catalyst Shell 405 (Ir on Al) which might provide clues to the design of ionic liquid hydrazine propellant replacements.
