Oxygenation methane

Vapor-Phase Mechanisms. Phosphoms flame retardants can also exert vapor-phase flame-retardant action. Trimethyl phosphate [512-56-1] C H O P, retards the velocity of a methane—oxygen flame with about the same molar efficiency as antimony trichloride (30,31). Both physical and chemical vapor-phase mechanisms have been proposed for the flame-retardant action of certain phosphoms compounds. Physical (endothermic) modes of action have been shown to be of dominant importance in the flame-retardant action of a wide range of non-phosphoms-containing volatile compounds (32). 

Montecatini Process. This partial combustion process operates at higher pressure, 405—608 kPa (4—6 atm), than the BASF and SBA processes. The burner dimensions are proportionately smaller. Because of the higher pressure, the danger of premature ignition of the methane—oxygen mixture is higher so that 2 vol % of steam is added to the gas mixture to alter the flammabiUty limits.

On-line GC analysis (Shimadzu GC 14A) was used to measure product selectivity and methane conversion. Details on the analysis procedure used for batch and continuous-flow operation are given elsewhere [12]. The molecular sieve trap was found to trap practically all ethylene, COj and HjO produced a significant, and controllable via the adsorbent mass, percentage of ethane and practically no methane, oxygen or CO, for temperatures 50-70 C. The trap was heated to -300°C in order to release all trapped products into the recirculating gas phase (in the case of batch operation), or in a slow He stream (in the case of continuous flow operation).

The explosive properties of liquid methane-oxygen mixtures were determined [8], Dining investigation of an explosion in a portable air liquefaction-separation plant, hydrocarbon oil was found in a silica filtration bed [9], The mechanism of slow heterogeneous accumulation of hydrocarbons dissolved in trace amounts in liquid oxygen on the liquid evaporator surfaces is discussed. It was concluded that months of continuous evaporation would be required to attain explosion-hazardous levels in real evaporators [10],... 

This method is used to determine sodium and potassium in food, water and blood serum. The flame can be hydrogen/oxygen, methane/ oxygen or methane/air fueled. Wavelength selection can be by filter, prism Fig. 9.2 or grating and by either one or two detectors. 

Several important chemical reactions for the conversion of coal to methane are shown in Table 2. Steam conversion involves the reaction of coal with steam to produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Hydrogen conversion is a reaction in which coal and hydrogen react to form methane. Oxygen conversion produces hydrogen and carbon monoxide by partial oxidation of coal. Methan-ation involves a reaction in which methane and water are produced from carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The water gas shift reaction between carbon monoxide and steam produces carbon dioxide and hydrogen.

From other more recent studies of NO formation in the combustion of lean and slightly rich methane-oxygen-nitrogen mixtures as well as lean and very rich hydrocarbon-oxygen-nitrogen mixtures, it must be concluded that some of the prompt NO is due to the overshoot of O and OH radicals above their equilibrium values, as the Bowman and Seery results suggested. But even though O radical overshoot is found on the fuel-rich side of stoichiometric, this overshoot cannot explain the prompt NO formation in fuel-rich systems. It would appear that both the Zeldovich and Fenimore mechanisms are feasible. 

The following procedure serves to produce a slow, controlled and steady gas flow through the burner nozzle into the reaction cell Two additional cylindrical feed autoclaves from a non-corrosive high strength steel alloy, each with 80 cm internal volume and inlets at both ends are used. Both contain stainless steel bellows of 30 cm capacity, connected with one of the inlets. The bellows can be filled with methane, oxygen or any other gas to pressures of 2000 bar, provided that the space outside the bellows is filled through the second inlets with water and brought to the same pressure. These water-filled spaces of the feed autoclaves can be connected with the interior of the reaction cell, when this is filled with the...

Vanadium-catalyzed hydroxylation of benzene and cyclohexane has also been obtained with in situ generation of hydrogen peroxide from H2/O2 in the presence of palladium. A similar process has been settled for methane oxygenation to methyl trifluoroacetate and formic acid. Monoperoxovanadate, as well as copper hydroperoxides, have been indicated as the active species for the activation of the C—H bond of methane. 

Nitrogen gas would be a volatile compound, because the equilibrium is strongly to the gas phase, and there is little gas phase resistance to its transfer (that is, 1/Kl >> 1 /(HKg)). For that reason, nitrogen is generally called a gas, as are many other volatile compounds, such as methane, oxygen, and propane.
