REACTIONS RELATED TO OXIDATION
Abstract
An extensive study of the abstraction reactions of hydroxyl radicals is reported. The radicals were formed by the photolysis of either H2O2 or HNO3 in dilute aqueous solution. The relative rates at which they attacked the lower alkanes were found. The relative rates of consumption of alkanes by the attack of radicals generated by the photolysis of a variety of ketones in the presence of an excess of oxygen is discussed. It was established that the active radicals were not alkyl peroxy radicals directly formed from alkyl radicals and oxygen. Results on the attack on the radicals on alkenes are described. An attempt was made to study the reactions of H atoms generated in H-O mixtures at high temperatures. The oxidation and competitive oxidation in very lean mixtures was also investigated. (Author)
