The first large-scale use of hydrazine was as fuel for the rocket-powered German ME-163 fighter plane during World War II. Production in the United States began in 1953 at the Lake Charles, Louisiana plant of the Olin Corp., a facility then having a capacity of 2040 metric tons. In 1992 world capacity was about 44,100 metric tons N2H4.

The estimated world production capacity for hydrazine solutions is 44,100 t on a N2H4 basis (Table 6). About 60% is made by the hypochlorite—ketazine process, 25% by the peroxide—ketazine route, and the remainder by the Raschig and urea processes. In addition there is anhydrous hydrazine capacity for propellant appHcations. In the United States, one plant dedicated to fuels production (Olin Corp., Raschig process), has a nominal capacity of 3200 t. This facihty also produces the two other hydrazine fuels, monomethyUiydrazine and unsymmetrical dimethyUiydrazine. Other hydrazine fuels capacity includes AH in the PRC, Japan, and Russia MMH in France and Japan and UDMH in France, Russia, and the PRC. 

Oxygen scavengers other than hydrazine are also used, especially catalyzed sodium sulfite, which reacts rapidly with oxygen even at room temperatures to form sodium sulfate. Catalyzed hydrazine formulations are now commercially available that react with oxygen at ambient temperatures at rates comparable to catalyzed sulfite (189). At elevated temperatures, the reaction rates are all similar. Table 14 Hsts the standard hydrazine solution products offered by Olin Corp. for sale to the water-treatment market. Other concentrations are available and other companies offer similar products. 

Calcium Hypochlorite. High assay calcium hypochlorite [7778-54-3] was first commercialized in the United States in 1928 by Mathieson Alkali Works, Inc. (now Olin Corp.) under the trade name HTH. It is now produced by two additional manufacturers in North America (Table 5). Historically, it usually contained about 1% water and 70—74% av CI2, so-called anhydrous product, but in 1970, a hydrated product was introduced (234). It is similar in composition to anhydrous Ca(OCl)2 except for its higher water content of about 6—12% and a slightly lower available chlorine content. This product has improved resistance to accidental initiation of self-sustained decomposition by a Ht match, a Ht cigarette, or a small amount of organic contamination. U.S. production in the 1990s consists primarily of partially hydrated Ca(OCl)2, which is sold as a 65% av CI2 product mainly for swimming pool use. Calcium hypochlorite is also sold as a 50% av CI2 product as a sanitizer used by dairy and food industries and in the home, and as a 32% product for mildew control.
