A report on Monochloramine, Hydrazine and Ammonia
Together with dichloramine (NHCl2) and nitrogen trichloride (NCl3), it is one of the three chloramines of ammonia.
- MonochloramineIt is a simple pnictogen hydride, and is a colourless flammable liquid with an ammonia-like odour.
- HydrazineThis reaction is also the first step of the Olin Raschig process for hydrazine synthesis.
- MonochloramineWith chlorine, monochloramine is formed.
- AmmoniaThis method relies on the reaction of monochloramine with ammonia to create the nitrogen–nitrogen single bond as well as a hydrogen chloride byproduct:
- HydrazineHydrazine, in the Olin Raschig process and the peroxide process

Chemical element with the symbol N and atomic number 7.
Many industrially important compounds, such as ammonia, nitric acid, organic nitrates (propellants and explosives), and cyanides, contain nitrogen.
Antoine Lavoisier suggested instead the name azote, from the "no life", as it is an asphyxiant gas; this name is used in several languages, including French, Italian, Russian, Romanian, Portuguese and Turkish, and appears in the English names of some nitrogen compounds such as hydrazine, azides and azo compounds.
A few mixed halides and hydrohalides are known, but are mostly unstable; examples include NClF2, NCl2F, NBrF2, NF2H, NFH2, NCl2H, and NClH2.
Olin Raschig process
0 linksThe Olin Raschig process is a chemical process for the production of hydrazine.
The main steps in this process, patented by German chemist Friedrich Raschig in 1906 and one of three reactions named after him, are the formation of monochloramine from ammonia and hypochlorite, and the subsequent reaction of monochloramine with ammonia towards hydrazine.
