Catalysts for the decomposition of hydrazine and its derivatives and a method for its production

Catalysts of various types are used to decompose hydrazine and its derivatives. One type of catalyst is made as follows: the aluminum is dissolved out of an alloy of cobalt or nickel/aluminum so that a structure is produced that is chemically active for the monergol and that has a large active surface. The objective was to avoid difficulties and to create a catalyst that not only has a short start time but that can also be manufactured easily and relatively inexpensively. The solution to this task is to coat the base structure of the catalyst with oxides of copper, cobalt and cerium or oxides of copper, cobalt and cerite earth.
