  1. hydrazine is a fuel additive. if you own a storage system for it you should know how to neutralize it. call the company or  look at the MSDS. i hope this is a theoretical question


  2. Anyone who works with hydrazine would already know the safety procedures or they would be allowed around it...

  3. 4.7.1  Spillage

        Remove all ignition sources and evacuate the danger area.  Collect

        leaking liquid in sealable containers.  Keep spills from entering

        water sources and sewers.  Promptly dilute spilled hydrazine with

        water spray, to produce at least a 40% solution.  Construct barriers

        to contain the spill, or flush it into a container.  Foam can be

        applied to r****d vaporization.  Use sand to collect small spills.

        Ensure personal protection, by using a self-contained breathing

        apparatus, eye protection, and full protective clothing.

        4.7.2  Disposal (based on the IRPTC waste disposal file)

        Hydrazine can be disposed of by dilution with water to produce at

        least a 40% solution and subsequent neutralization with dilute

        sulfuric acid. The resulting solution can be drained into the sewer,

        with abundant water.

        Alternatively, hydrazine waste can be burnt in a chemical incinerator

        equipped with an after-burner and scrubber, after dilution with

        alcohol or another hydrocarbon fuel.
