The Investigation of Propane Oxidation Using Electrochemical Mass Spectrometry.

Abstract

An EMS study of the adsorbable and electrooxidizable impurities in our electrochemical system was undertaken. The source of most of the impurities was found and corrected. The adsorbtion and oxidative desorbtion of methylcyclohexane and isobutane was studied. Steady state and time dependent results are presented. A new digital data acquisition and experimental control system was developed and interfaced to the EMS system. This system made possible the acquisition of much more useful data from a single experiment rather than depending upon very high reproducibility between experiments.
