Abstract
The reaction of azide with mixed solution of degradation reagent consisting of sodium nitrite and acetic acid was studied for the wet decomposition treatment of azide. It was confirmed that the reaction scheme of azide with the degradation reagent is expressed as: N3-+NO2-+2H+ → N2+N2O+H2O
The reaction conforms to a second-order rate law. As the rate determining step, the reaction, HNO2+HN3 → N2+N2O+H2O was deduced.
It was known that the degradation reagent was decomposed by aging in acidic solution. It was shown that addition of ammonium acetate suppressed its aging. It is explained as follows;
In acetic acid solution, ammonium acetate hydrolyzes to acetate and hydrogen ions, and the solution changes to weak acid due to common ion effect. Consequently, the by-reaction, 3HNO2 → HNO3 + 2NO + H2O is retarded.
アジ化物の湿式処理について,アジ化物としてアジ化ナトリウムを,分解試薬として亜硝酸ナトリウムの酢酸−酢酸アンモニウム酸性溶液を用いて実験を行った。アジ化物の亜硝酸イオンによる湿式処理の反応式はN3-+2H++NO2-→N2+N2O+H2Oとなることを推測し,反応はアジ化物イオンと亜硝酸イオンの濃度の積に比例する二次反応となることが確認できた。
反応の律速段階として,HNO2+HN3→N2+N2O+H2Oなる反応を推測した。また,分解試薬の亜硝酸イオンは酸性溶液中では経時劣化する事が知られているが,酢酸アンモニウムを添加することで劣化を遅くすることができる。これは,弱酸と弱塩基の中和反応で生成する強電解質の酢酸アンモニウムの加水解離による共通イオン効果で液性が弱酸性に保たれ3HNO2→HNO3+2NO+H2Oなる反応が抑制されるためと推測した。
