Abstract: Provided by this invention is a process for producing a purified hydrazine hydrate having a low total organic carbon concentration and which involves:a first step which includes distilling an aqueous solution of hydrazine hydrate in the presence of at least one salt selected from the group consisting of chloride, sulfate, phosphate and carbonate of (a) the metals of Group Ia and IIa of the Periodic Table of the Elements, (b) ammonium or (c) hydrazinium to concentrate the aqueous solution of hydrazine hydrate by distilling water and the majority of the total organic carbon constituents off and separating the resultant concentrate as a bottom product, anda second step which includes distilling the resultant concentrate to recover a purified aqueous solution of hydrazine hydrate as a top product and separating an aqueous solution of the above salt as a bottom product.
