Methods of and systems for remediating hydrazine spills, solutions and
hydrazine-contaminated objects including areas thereof. Initially, an
aqueous solution comprising a dicarbonyl-compound can be prepared. The
aqueous solution can then be provided for application to an object
contaminated with a hydrazine group compound. The hydrazine group
compounds are converted to a stable organic compound as a result of a
reaction of the dicarbonyl-compound and hydrazine group compound.
Conversion assists in the remediation of the hydrazine group compound
from the object. The stable organic compound produced as a result of the
reaction between the dicarbonyl-compound and hydrazine group compound can
then be treated with a metal catalyst and hydrogen to produce glutamine
or a derivative thereof. Both the stable organic compound and glutamine
can undergo microbiological degradation without further remedial
intervention.
