KINETICS OF HYDROGEN-OXYGEN AND HYDROCARBON-OXYGEN REACTIONS.
Abstract
This report summarises progress made on three main areas: (1) Further experimental studies of the hydrogen-oxygen and deuterium-oxygen reaction, together with the development of computer programs to interpret the results. (2) Studies of the addition of ethane, propane, n- and isobutane, neopentane, tetraethylsilane and tetramethyl silane to slowly reacting hydrogen-oxygen mixtures. (3) The oxidation of acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde and butyraldehyde in aged boric-acid-coated vessels in the temperature range 400 - 500C. These studies have provided valuable information on the mechanism of the oxidation, and on the reactions of H atoms, OH and HO2 radicals, and alkyl radicals. (Author)
