PROCESS FOR PRODUCING HYDROXYLAMINE

摘要

It is an object of the present invention to provide a process for producing a hydroxylamine by reacting a salt of hydroxylamine with an alkali compound, where the yield reduction due to formation of a complex between the produced hydroxylamine and a salt produced as a by-product or adsorption of the hydroxylamine to the by-product salt is decreased, and a high-concentration and high-purity hydroxylamine is safely produced at a high yield. The process for producing a hydroxylamine of the present invention comprises a reaction step of reacting a salt of hydroxylamine with an alkali compound to obtain a hydroxylamine while keeping the reaction solution at a pH of 7 or more, a purification step of purifying the hydroxylamine by ion exchange, and a concentration step of concentrating the hydroxylamine by distillation at the column bottom.
