Fixed orSlowlj M-OvingFeds. For fuel-bed burning on a grate, a distillation effect occurs. The result is that hquid components which are formed volatilize before combustion temperatures are reached cracking may also occur. The ignition of coal in a bed is almost entirely by radiation from hot refractory arches and from the flame burning of volatiles. In fixed beds, the radiant heat above the bed can only penetrate a short distance into the bed. 

Flame or Partial Combustion Processes. In the combustion or flame processes, the necessary energy is imparted to the feedstock by the partial combustion of the hydrocarbon feed (one-stage process), or by the combustion of residual gas, or any other suitable fuel, and subsequent injection of the cracking stock into the hot combustion gases (two-stage process). A detailed discussion of the kinetics for the pyrolysis of methane for the production of acetylene by partial oxidation, and some conclusions as to reaction mechanism have been given (12). 

The flame-space walls are stainless steel and are water cooled. No mechanical coke scraper is required. A water quench cools the cracked gas stream rapidly at the poiat of maximum acetyleae and this is followed by a secondary water quench. The primary quench poiat can be adjusted for variation ia throughput, to accommodate the depeadeace of acetyleae yield oa resideace time ia the flame space.

In summary, the bad features of partial combustion processes are the cost of oxygen and the dilution of the cracked gases with combustion products. Flame stability is always a potential problem. These features are more than offset by the inherent simplicity of the operation, which is the reason that partial combustion is the predominant process for manufacturing acetylene from hydrocarbons. 

In the heating and cracking phase, preheated hydrocarbons leaving the atomizer are intimately contacted with the steam-preheated oxygen mixture. The atomized hydrocarbon is heated and vaporized by back radiation from the flame front and the reactor walls. Some cracking to carbon, methane, and hydrocarbon radicals occurs during this brief phase. 

For environmental reasons, burning should be smokeless. Long-chain and unsaturated hydrocarbons crack in the flame producing soot. Steam injection helps to produce clean burning by eliminating carbon through the water gas reaction. The quantity of steam required can be as high as 0.05—0.3 kg steam per kg of gas burned. A multijet flare can also be used in which the gas bums from a number of small nozzles parallel to radiant refractory rods which provide a hot surface catalytic effect to aid combustion. 

Flame Retardants. Although the use of chlorinated derivatives of DCPD has been restricted in the pesticide area, some are widely used in flame and fire retardant chemicals (see Flame retardants). The starting material is the fliUy chlorinated DCPD cracked to monomeric hexachlorocyclopentadiene, which is then converted via a Diels-Alder reaction with maleic anhydride to a reactive bicycHc anhydride (9), known as chlorendic anhydride [115-27-5]. 

A few crystals (or drop of solution) are heated in the non-luminous flame of a Bunsen burner. Melting with quiet burning is at one end of the spectrum cracking, flashing-off or flaring are considered hazardous. 

The aniline clo d point is a measure of the paraffinicity of a fuel oil. A high value denotes a highly paraffinic oil while a low value indicates an aromatic, a naphthenic, or a highly cracked oil. The flash point represents the temperature to which a liquid fuel can be heated before a flash appears on its surface upon exposure to a test flame under specified conditions. A knowledge of the flash point is needed to ensure safe handling and storage without fire hazards.

The cracking of diphenylmethane (DPM) was carried out in a continuous-flow tubular reactor. The liquid feed contained 29.5 wt.% of DPM (Fluka, >99%), 70% of n-dodecane (Aldrich, >99% solvent) and 0.5% of benzothiophene (Aldrich, 95% source of H2S, to keep the catalyst sulfided during the reaction). The temperature was 673 K and the total pressure 50 bar. The liquid feed flow rate was 16.5 ml.h and the H2 flow rate 24 l.h (STP). The catalytic bed consisted of 1.0 g of catalyst diluted with enough carborundum (Prolabo, 0.34 mm) to reach a final volume of 4 cm. The effluent of the reactor was condensed at high pressure. Liquid samples were taken at regular intervals and analyzed by gas chromatography, using an Intersmat IGC 120 FL, equipped with a flame ionization detector and a capillary column (Alltech CP-Sil-SCB).
