Final Report.

Abstract

Research was conducted to study the explosion limits and slow reaction of AND O, as affected by selected inhibitors and reaction vessel surfaces, to establish the mechanism of these reactions. A preliminary study was made of the ch mical kinetics of the oxidation of aldehydes and hydrocarbons in the temperature range 450 500 C to determine the most suitable features for detailed study. The effect of addition of CO in aged boric-acid-coated vessels and other surfaces was studied to examine the relative importance of the reactions of CO with O, OH and HO2 in the H2/O2 reaction.
