The Raschig process is a method for the industrial production of hydrazine by the oxidation of ammonia with hypochlorite. It was first described by German chemist Friedrich Raschig in 1907,[1] and was the major process for producing hydrazine through most of the twentieth century. The normal Raschig process produces hydrazine hydrate, but it can be modified (in the Raschig–Olin process) to produce anhydrous hydrazine if necessary: the Bayer hydrazine process is another modification of the Raschig process.
