Vapor-phase Oxidation and Spontaneous Ignition - Correlation and Effect of Variables


Book Description

The spontaneous ignition temperatures of eight structurally different hydrocarbons were determined and correlated with the behavior of the same hydrocarbons toward vapor-phase oxidation. Since good correlation of the two phenomena was obtained, it is likely that similar oxidative mechanisms are operative in both.




The Gas-Phase Oxidation of Hydrocarbons


Book Description

The Gas-Phase Oxidation of Hydrocarbons reviews research on the mechanism of oxidation of paraffins, naphthenes, olefines, and aromatic hydrocarbons and explains in detail the phenomena and theories with significant kinetic equations and graphs. This book first presents a study of the development of research on the gaseous-phase oxidation of hydrocarbons. The non-chain schemes for the oxidation of hydrocarbons, such as hydroxylation, peroxidation, and aldehyde and dehydrogenation schemes, are then discussed. This book also presents experimental investigations and important topics such as oxidation of methane and olefinic hydrocarbons. This selection will be invaluable to students and experts in the field of chemistry and related disciplines.
















Vapor-phase Reactions of Organic Compounds with Oxygen


Book Description

A series of gas-phase, peroxide-initiated oxidations of isobutane was carried out at 100C with pressures of isobutane ranging from 1 to 13 atmospheres. The yields of hydroperoxide increased with increasing pressure: from 16% at one atmosphere to 92% at 13 atmospheres (with
