Isothermal decomposition of hydroxylamine and hydroxylamine nitrate in aqueous solutions in the temperature range 80-160 °C

In the present work, isothermal decomposition tests were performed accompanied with HPLC, ion chromatography and UV analyses in the temperature range 80-160 °C. Condition-dependent autocatalytic decompositions were demonstrated for HA and HAN, and an intermediate formation has been observed that is most likely responsible for their autocatalytic behavior. These findings corroborate previously reported computational chemistry results.
