Kinetics of Hydrogen-Oxygen and Hydrocarbon-Oxygen Reactions.
Abstract
Rate constants of the H2 + O2 reaction at 500 C have been refined. Rate constants and Arrhenius parameters for reactions of H atoms and OH radicals with C2-C5 alkanes, 2,2,3,3-tetramethylbutane (TMB) and 2,2,3-trimethylbutane (TRIMB) have obtained. Detailed studies have been made of the products from the oxidation of i-butane, n-pentane, TMP and TRIMB. Rate constants for R + O2 = conjugate alkene, for homolysis of R radicals, and for the isomerisation of RO2 radicals to hydroperoxyalkyl radicals have been tabulated for a range of radicals. Preliminary studies have been made of the oxidation process of alkenes. Rate constants for reactions involved in the oxidation of propionaldehyde and of isobutyraldehyde have been listed. The decomposition of TMB in the presence of O2 has been used to study the reaction of HO2 radicals with TMB, C2H6, and with CO, and the reaction of C2H5 and t-C4H9 radicals. The decomposition of TRIMB in the presence of O2 has enabled the thermochemistry of t-C4H9 and i-C3H7 radicals to be examined. Interpretation of the N2O - H2 reaction has continued. (Author)
