Influence of Composition of Shungite on Its Reaction with Unsymmetrical Dimethylhydrazine.

Chromatography and mass spectrometry have been used to study the effect of shungite composition on its reaction with 1,1-dimethylhydrazine and its oxidative transformation products. Compounds contained in aqueous solutions of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine before and after its contact with shungite, as well as on the surface of shungite with different ratios of organic and inorganic components, have been analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively depending on the contact time. It has been found that the composition of shungite affects the products of its reaction with 1,1-dimethylhydrazine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
