OXYGEN thermal

Stabilized tetrachloroethylene, as provided commercially, can be used in the presence of air, water, and light, in contact with common materials of constmction, at temperatures up to about 140°C. It resists hydrolysis at temperatures up to 150°C (2). However, the unstabilized compound, in the presence of water for prolonged periods, slowly hydrolyzes to yield trichloroacetic acid [76-03-9] and hydrochloric acid. In the absence of catalysts, air, or moisture, tetrachloroethylene is stable to about 500°C. Although it does not have a flash point or form flammable mixtures in air or oxygen, thermal decomposition results in the formation of hydrogen chloride and phosgene [75-44-5] (3).

Peroxides of all the alkali metals having the formula M2O2 are known. There are several general methods of preparation reaction of the metal and oxygen, reaction of the metal monoxide and oxygen, thermal decomposition of the superoxide, and reaction of alkaline solutions of the metal and... 

Natural rubber was also studied regarding pyrolysis in the presence of oxygen. Thermal oxidation of natural rubber is assumed always to be associated with scission, although photo-oxidation at low temperature may involve peroxide formation without scission. 

Usually, the metal containing products of these reactions are rather stable and do not produce oxygen thermally or photochemically, although isolated examples of hydrogen production on photolysis of higher oxidation state ions, e.g. Eu , U and Ti", suggest that cyclic behaviour is occurring and this may also be the case for Mn". ...

When the line positions come from two sources, the spacing is measured from the same source. The 3p i — 2po spacing is included because it allows comparisons with donor centres where the 2p i line is split, as in the oxygen thermal donor spectra t Resonant phonon broadening of 2po, a [118], b [21]... 

Unstable compounds such as peroxides and hydroperoxides are usual initiators for vinyl polymerization reactions. These groups can be introduced into a solid polymer by pre-irradiation in the presence of air or oxygen. Thermal decomposition of these groups in the presence of monomer yields graft copolymers. Some examples include grafting of acrylonitrile, styrene, and methyl methacrylate to polyethylene and polypropylene. 

Thermal and thermal-oxidative decomposition tests differ only in their environment. A pure thermal decomposition is studied in vacuo or under an inert atmosphere. In air or oxygen, thermal and thermal-oxidative decomposition can not be distinguished. For this reason, the simplified term thermal decomposition will be used in the following as a general term thermal-oxidative decomposition will be mentioned only when the presence of oxygen is particularly important.

As outlined in a simplified mechanisms in Fig. 4.1, degradation proceeds through a radical chain mechanism (2,3). Initiation typically occurs through exposure to heat generated during production. Trace metal impurities such as copper or iron accelerates radical formation. Reactive hydroperoxides are formed after reaction of the carbon-centered radical with oxygen. Thermally induced homolytic cleavage of hydroperoxides leads to additional reactive radical formation and subsequent polymer chain scission.
