A number of Cu- and Fe-hydroxide containing catalysts, supported on oxide carriers, were prepared to provide the removal of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine from aqueous solutions via its oxidation by hydrogen peroxide and air oxygen. The Cu-containing samples as well as Fe/ZSM-5 are the most active catalysts in this reaction. The reaction products were analyzed by gas chromatography and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The effect of nature of the oxidizer and catalyst, pH and temperature on both the reaction rate and product composition was studied.
