Patent number: 6156906Abstract: A process for the preparation of a 5,5'-bi-1H-tetrazole diammonium salt by dropwisely adding the aqueous hydrogen peroxide to which a small amount of weakly acidic substance has been added, to a starting aqueous solution containing hydrogen cyanide or sodium cyanide or potassium cyanide, sodium azide and a catalytic amount of copper sulfate preferably at a low temperature to maintain the pH of the reaction solution over a range of from 5 to 6, heating the reaction solution to effect the oxidation and cyclization reaction, reacting the reaction product with ammonium chloride or an aqueous solution thereof, and recovering the formed ammonium salt in the form of sparingly soluble crystals. The desired product is obtained in a high yield and in a high purity from the starting materials which are cheaply available and are easy to handle through a decreased number of steps, i.e., through a one-pot reaction without requiring cumbersome after-treatment.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 1999Date of Patent: December 5, 2000Assignees: Japan Hydrazine Co., Inc., Masuda Chemical Industry Co., LTD.Inventors: Shunji Hyoda, Masaharu Kita, Hirotoshi Sawada, Shuichi Nemugaki, Takahiro Ueta, Kohki Satoh, Sumio Otsuka, Yoshitaka Miyawaki, Hiroshi Taniguchi

Patent number: 6040453Abstract: A process for the preparation of a 5,5'-bi-1H-tetrazole diammonium salt by using dicyan, sodium azide, ammonium chloride and water as a reaction medium. This process is industrially advantageous since the 5,5'-bi-1H-tetrazole diammonium salt is synthesized and, then, the precipitated crystals thereof are simply isolated by filtration to obtain the 5,5'-bi-1H-tetrazole diammonium salt maintaining an yield which is not lower than 90%. The 5,5'-bi-1H-tetrazole diammonium salt is a gas-generating agent for air bags, which is lowly toxic and is easy to handle.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 1999Date of Patent: March 21, 2000Assignees: Japan Hydrazine Co., Inc, Masuda Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shunji Hyoda, Masaharu Kita, Hirotoshi Sawada, Shuichi Nemugaki, Sumio Otsuka, Yoshitaka Miyawaki, Takashi Ogawa, Yuhki Kubo

Patent number: 5578110Abstract: A method by which numerous gas generators from unused air-bags can be scrapped in an environmentally acceptable manner. The method consists ofa) heating the gas generator to actuate the generator to produce combustion gases and an actuated generator having water soluble contaminants thereon;b) washing the actuated generator with a water composition to remove the contaminants from the actuated generator to produce a washed generator and a contaminated water composition containing the contaminants;c) dividing the washed generator to produce divided generator parts;d) chemically treating the contaminated water composition to produce a purified water composition; ande) classifying the divided generator parts into classified generator parts.Optionally, the dividing step can occur before the washing step, or before and after the washing step. The classified generator parts and purified water can be disposed of in an environmentally acceptable manner.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 1995Date of Patent: November 26, 1996Assignees: Daicel Chemical Industries, Ltd., Nomura Kohsan Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yuzaburo Nakasato, Mitsuhiko Fukabori, Takaaki Iwasaki, Humio Ayuta, Sumio Otsuka, Yoshitaka Miyawaki
