Carbohydrazide, which is marketed under different trade names, was believed to be a good alternative to hydrazinethat provides all of the additional benefits desired of an alternative oxygen scavenger of being safe to handle but without the deleterious impact on the cycle chemistry.
Trial tests with carbohydrazide on one of Al-Jubail Power Plant's boilers provided evidence that it is a good alternativeto hydrazine. 
After  two  weeks  of optimization, it was found  that  maintaining  residual hydrazine in the  range  of30–40 µg · kg–1 in feedwater (economizer inlet) was an appropriate method of controlling the dose rate of carbo -hydrazide and hence  provided  the optimum conditions for passivating  the  boiler. 
Accordingly, a dosing rate of0.7 mg · kg–1 of carbohydrazide was found satisfactory for running the boiler smoothly.
This paper is a summary of the initial trials performed 12 years ago and serves as an introduction to a second articlewhich will be published later this year in this journal.

We carry a kit from CHEMetrics that determines carbohydrazide levels in water from 0-0.50 ppm.

Carbohydrazide is well known that hydrazine possesses excellent reducing action and oxygen scavenging property. 
Hydrazine as an oxygen scavenger has been widely used for the feedwater treatment of PWR secondary side and fossil power plants in the world. 
Recently, PWRS have operated with All Volatile Treatment (AVT) employing high hydrazine content water chemistry. 
Carbohydrazide is reported that the use of hydrazine as a scavenger of trace quantities of dissolved oxygen reduce the corrosion of balance-of-plant materials in the recommended pH range in PWRs. 
High hydrazine water chemistry is expected to yield a reduction in the corrosion product transport to the steam generators.

However, there is some concern over health and safety issues related to use of hydrazine. 
Carbohydrazide is listed up as one of safety substitute of hydrazine. 
Carbohydrazide has replaced hydmzine in 20% of the United States electric utility industry.
Moreover, it is reported that the reducing action and oxygen scavenging property of carbohydrazide is comparable with that of hydrazine, and that in particular, at low temperature, its oxygen scavenging property is superior to that of hydrazine. 
In USA, some good results concerning the corrosion restriction effect of carbohydrazide has been reported.
On the other hand, the result of electrochemical measurements at Kewanuee Nuclear Power Plant shows carbohydrazide has no deleterious effect.

However, the fundamental property of carbohydrazide, such as thermal decomposition rate, reducing action and oxygen scavenging property, has not been adequately clarified.

BESCHREIBUNG
This water miscible (aqueous) embedding medium prevents the loss of lipids caused by organic solvents and also the clouding of tissue observed during specific reactions involving the use of metal-lic fixatives (e.g., OsO4 and Potassium Permanganate).

The GACH embedding medium is prepared by adding Carbohydrazide to 50% Glutaraldehyde in a final concentration of 150 mg/ml, (e.g., 1.5g of Carbohydrazide to 10ml of 50% Glutaraldehyde).

The mixture is carried out in a pre-cooled beaker kept in an ice bath, using a magnetic stirrer. 
The Carbohydrazide is added in three portions, and stirred rapidly for 15 minutes after each of the additions.
Carbohydrazide can be employed at neutral pH and cured at 37°C. The stock solution can be stored for several months at -20°C without deterioration.

Tissue Preparation:

Fixation: Tissues are fixed in the conventional way with concentrations of 2 to 5% Glutaraldehyde and rinsedwith the buffers.

Dehydration: Dehydrate according to the following schedule with aqueous dilutions of GACH.

20% GACH + 80% H20 3 hours or overnight
50% GACH + 50% H20 2 - 4 hours
80% GACH + 20% H20 2 - 4 hours
100% GACH 1 - 2 hours
This procedure is carried out in a cold room or in vials immersed in ice (1°C).Particular specimens, (e.g., erythrocites) can be embedded in the undiluted medium, suspended directly in 100% GACH, [Dodge, et al]).

Embedding is carried out by removing the tissue from the last 100% GACH and placing it on a small droplet of fresh GACH on a dental wax plate at room temperature.

Polymerization is obtained by placing the plate in an incubator at 37°C for 8 - 14 hours.

Sectioning: The droplets of polymerized GACH can be cemented on blank epoxy blocks, trimmed and then sectioned on the ultramicrotome using diamond or glass knives.
Polymerized GACH is no longer soluble in water; therefore, the sections can float on the surface of the water in the boat of the knife. 
The thickness of the sections can be judged by interference color similar to epoxy sections.

To increase contrast on the cellular components, sections can be stained with aqueous Uranyl Acetate and Lead Citrate.

Carbohydrazide is added to boiler system water as an oxygen scavenger to control corrosion. 
Carbohydrazide is a safer alternative to hydrazine, which is toxic. Carbohydrazide reacts with oxygen at low temperatures and pressures. 
The products of the reaction are volatile and do not contribute dissolved solids to the boiler water. 
Like hydrazine, carbohydrazide will also passivate metal surfaces. 
The test kits employ the PDTS chemistry. 
Carbohydrazide reduces ferric iron to the ferrous state, and the ferrous iron reacts with PDTS (3-(2-pyridyl)-5,6-bis(4-phenylsulfonic acid)-1,2,4-triazine disodium salt) to form a peach-pink colored complex in direct proportion to the carbohydrazide concentration.
Test results are expressed as ppm (mg/L) carbohydrazide. 
Kit comes in a plastic case and contains everything needed to perform 30 tests: Refill, Comparator, Activator Solution, 25 mL sample cup, and instructions

Carbohydrazide (CH6N4O) is a potential substitute to hydrazine in fuel cell applications. 
This paper presents a theoretical study on the adsorption of carbohydrazide on Au(111) and Au3Ni(111) surfaces using first principles calculations based on density functional theory. 
Results show that without van der Waals correction in the calculations, carbohydrazide weakly physisorbs on Au(111), corroborating the experimentally observed high overpotential requirement for carbohydrazide oxidation on Au catalyst. 
An enhanced reactivity is observed by alloying Au with Ni due to the emergence of a localized d-band near the Fermi level that interacts strongly with the HOMO of carbohydrazide. 
On Au3Ni(111), a N–Ni bond between carbohydrazide and the surface is formed, characterized by the hybridization of N–pz and Ni–dzz states. 
These results pose insights into the use of 3d transition metals as alloying components in enhancing the reactivity of Au catalyst for carbohydrazide oxidation.

Carbohydrazide is prepared by reacting dimethyl carbonate with hydrazine hydrate. 
Carbohydrazide single crystal has been cultured with slow evaporation method. 
Carbohydrazide molecular structure and crystal structure have been determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction technique. 
The obtained results shows that the crystal belongs to Crystal system of Monoclinic, space group P2(1)/n with crystal parameters of 
a = 3.725(1), 
b = 8.834(2), 
c = 11.96(3),

Based on the crystal data, we have also carried quantum chemistry calculations on the title compound using the B3LYP and MP2 method with cc-pVTZ basis set. 
The calculation results further demonstrate the molecular structure of title compound and its coordination properties.

Carbohydrazide kinetics of the Pu(VI) reduction with carbohydrazide in nitric acid solutions was studied by spectrophotometry. 
Carbohydrazide reaction rate increases with increasing carbohydrazide concentration and temperature and decreases with increasing HNO3 concentration. 
Carbohydrazide reaction order with respect to Pu, carbohydrazide, and HNO3 is 1, 2.3, and–3, respectively. 
Carbohydrazide activation energy of the reaction is 111 kJ mol–1. 

Carbohydrazide based oxygen scavenger contains corrosion owing to dissolved oxygen, without adding any inorganic solids to the boiler water. 
This particular class of oxygen scavenger does not decompose into organic acid species and works by promoting the formation of passivating metal oxide films without interfering with the action of other treatment chemicals. 
Carbohydrazide minimizes oxygen induced corrosion and pitting, iron oxide deposition and scaling of feed-water lines, de-aerators, and internal steam boiler with these advanced boiler oxygen scavengers.

This boiler water treatment is mainly available in two variants - powder and liquid. In solid form, it is white crystalline in appearance, completely soluble in water, decomposes around 153°C/ 307.4 F. 
Carbohydrazide liquid variant is based on volatile chemistry which leaves no dissolved solids, and ammonia to the boiler system.

Carbohydrazide prevents corrosion by forming a protective passive film on metal and boosting pH in condensate line, thereby increasing the shelf-life of boilers. 
Although Carbohydrazide may be added to the boiler system at any point, it is most efficient to treat the boiler feed water, preferably as it comes from the de-gasifiers. 
Residence times prior to steam formation should be maximized to obtain maximum corrosion protection. 
Carbohydrazide is an effective oxygen scavenger and metal passivator over the entire range of temperatures to which the boiler is generally subjected.


Key Features and Benefits of this Boiler Water Treatment:
Long time protection and control against corrosion
Non carcinogenic nature
Easy to dose
Promotes passivation on metal surfaces
Non residual

​Chemtex Speciality Ltd is one of the largest manufacturers of Carbohydrazide in India, and supplies globally.

Carbohydrazide has been demonstrated to be an efficient formaldehyde-scavenging agent, particularly with dimethyloldihydroxyethylene urea (DMDHEU) resins. 
With a given level of carbohydrazide, a lower level of free formaldehyde was achieved with the buffered DMDHEU resin than with the unbuffered. 
The nature of the catalyst also had a significant effect on the formaldehyde-scavenging ability of the carbohy drazide. 
Although the free formaldehyde is reduced on the fabric initially, it increases after washing. 
A solution of the carbohydrazide in the methylated DMDHEU has long-term stability. 
This property would permit a preformulated product by the resin manufacturer.

Carbohydrazide is widely used in the production of drugs, herbicides, plant growth regulators, and dyestuffs.

Carbohydrazide is a white crystalline solid with a melting point of 153-154 °C. It decomposes upon melting. 
Carbohydrazide is very water soluble and largely insoluble in organic solvents.


USES:

Oxygen scrubber: carbohydrazide is used as an oxygen scrubber in boiler systems. 
Oxygen scrubbers remove oxygen gas from the boiler system to prevent corrosion.
Polymers: carbohydrazide can react with many aromatic compounds to create polymers.
Carbohydrazide can be used as a curing agent for epoxide-type resins.
Photography: carbohyrazide is used in the silver halide diffusion process as one of the toners. 
Carbohydrazide is used to stabilize color developers that produce images of the azo-methine and azine classes.
Carbohydrazide has been used to develop propellants stabilize soaps, and used a reagent in organic synthesis

In the secondary systems of pressurized water reactors (PWRs), all volatile treatment (AVT) is applied. 
Hydrazine is added as an oxygen scavenger. The authors hypothesized that carbohydrazide would be a harmless alternative to hydrazine. 
In the present study, the thermal decomposition and corrosion suppression effects on carbon steel of carbohydrazide were evaluated in comparison with those of hydrazine. 
The rate constant of the thermal decomposition of carbohydrazide was evaluated. 
The oxygen-scavenging efficiency of carbohydrazide is slightly lower than that of hydrazine. 
However, it has been confirmed that corrosion of carbon steel is suppressed more in carbohydrazide solution than in hydrazine solution at 423 K. 
Carbohydrazide is considered that carbohydrazide is less reducing at 423 K than hydrazine, and that carbohydrazide suppresses reductive dissolution of iron oxides. 
Carbohydrazide can be concluded that carbohydrazide is a promising alternative to hydrazine in the secondary systems of PWRs.

A one-pot, multi-component protocol for the synthesis of a new class of functionalized quinoline carbohydrazide derivatives via reaction of various anilines, dimedone, aromatic aldehydes, and cyanoacetohydrazide is described. 
The reactions are completed in the presence of catalytic amount of piperidine, respectively, in melt conditions and then in ethanol/water (1:1) as green solvent at 80°C.  
Mild conditions, green medium, short reaction times, simple workup and purification process with no chromatographic technique, and good yields are the main advantages of this method.

Carbohydrazide applications
Final efficiency and yield of equipment that work with steam and water like boilers depend on the chemicals that are used in order to control the corrosion and scaling of the water that is used in the system. 
In boilers and other equipment that are made of steel, oxygen may cause Corrosion.

One factor that may increase the risk of corrosion in boilers at high temperatures. 
Feedwater that is fed to boilers must contain chemicals that are corrosion inhibitors like hydrazine to control the oxygen scavenging. 
But as a matter of fact, hydrazine is extremely toxic due to reports so it can bring about several health problems. 
To reduce the risks that are caused by oxygen scavenger chemicals some chemicals are replaced with previous ones like Carbohydrazide.

Carbohydrazide minimized the oxygen content that causes corrosion and also reduces the scaling and iron oxide deposition.  
This chemical does not add any inorganic materials to the system. 
In order to maximize the corrosion inhibitor efficiency, the residence time should be increased.
Carbohydrazide is a very stable and efficient oxygen scavenger in a wide variety range of temperatures.

Advantageous of Carbohydrazide applied in steam equipment
Low toxicity in comparison with other chemicals;
Easy to manage dose and control it;
Awesome protection against corrosion;
Without any residual in the system.
Synthesis of Carbohydrazide
In Industrial-scale the chemical is synthesized by the reaction of urea with hydrazine:

OC (NH2)2 + 2 N2H4 → OC (N2H3)2 + 2 NH3

The other way of this compound synthesis is through the reaction of carbonate ester and hydrazine.
