Hydroxylamine → Hydroxylamine, sulfate (1:1)

Participants

Reaction Steps

When oxime formation is conducted using an aqueous solution of hydroxylamine sulfate (hydroxylamine prepared by Rashig method, also called as ammonium sulfite method, where an aqueous solution of ammonium nitrate is reduced by sulfur dioxide in the presence of hydrogen sulfate ions, into hydroxyamide-N,N-disulfate, which is then hydrolyzed to obtain hydroxylamine sulfate) and ammonia water, ammonium sulfate is obtained as a byproduct from the separated aqueous phase. This ammonium sulfate is called as oxime ammonium sulfate, which is purified more easily than ammonium sulfate as a byproduct in the rearrangement step described in “BACKGROUND ART” (called as rearrangement ammonium sulfate) and can be thus sold in the market. When hydroxylamine prepared by HPO method wherein hydroxylamine phosphate is prepared is used, ammonium sulfate is not formed even in the oxime-forming step.
