Reactions of CH

The fast reaction of CH2 with H atoms leads to CH radicals, which may be precursors of non-Zeldovich NO formation in rich hydrocarbon flames. The 

Flame simulations show this reaction to be a very important chain-branching step. From measurements of lean low-pressure C2H2/O2 flames (Eberius et a/., 1973) it has been concluded (Warnatz, 1981) that this reaction leads to the products CO2 + H -h H for two reasons (1) Only the formation of two H atoms can account for the fast propagation of this flame. Formation, e.g., of CO -h OH -h H, would lead to very slow propagation incompatible with the measurements (2) CO2 formation in this flame can be explained only with direct formation in the reaction of CH2 with O2. Formation of CO followed by CO -h OH CO2 -h H is too slow to reproduce the measured CO2 flame profiles. 

This result on the product distribution is in contrast to room-temperature measurements by Himme (1977) on ketene photolysis in presence of O2 ( 95% formation of CO). Perhaps this discrepancy can be explained by a temperature-dependent behavior of an intermediate reaction complex H2CO2, decomposing at high temperature, and rearranging to form OH at low temperature. The rate coefficient determined by Vinckier and Debruyn (1979b) is adopted here (Fig. 44). Clearly, there is need of measurements both

There is little information on these reactions, which may be important in rich acetylene flames because of their chain-terminating character (Warnatz et ai, 1982). 

The CO vibrational population distribution observed in the reaction with CO2 was found to be statistical assuming a long-lived CH2CO2 intermediate is formed. However, the CO distribution from the reaction CH2 + O2 is cooler than the statistical prediction. It is suggested that CO may be produced by more than one channel, such as HCOOH giving H2O -I- CO and HCO + OH, where the HCO may then undergo a subsequent decomposition to yield cooler CO.

Since ions analysed with a quadnipole instniment have low translational kinetic energies, it is possible for them to undergo bimoleciilar reactions with species inside an RF-only quadnipole. These bimoleciilar reactions are often iisefiil for the stnictural characterization of isomeric species. An example of this is the work of Flanison and co-workers [17]. They probed the reactions of CH. NHVions with isomeric butenes and... 

Although the reaction of CHs- radicals with NO in the gas phase has been extensively studied by indirect methods, we are aware of only one report in which the intermediate CH3NO was directly determined, and in this case the reaction was carried out at room temperature [14]. In order to gain insight into the thermal stability of CH3NO, a cursory study was carried out in a Knudsen cell over the temperature range from 25 C to 800°C. 

It is relevant to the low pressure studies, particularly those of Figure 5, that at 735°C, CH4 + O2 had a positive effect on the rate of Nj formation and on the rate of CHj- radical production, relative to the case when only CH4 + NO were the reagents. These results are consistent with the view that CHj- radicals are intermediates in the reaction of CH 4 with NO when O2 is present, but in the absence of Oj, the reduction of NO by CH4 over Sr/LajOs may occur via another pathway that does not involve CH,- radicals.

The byproduct obtained from the overall reaction is carbon disulfide (CS ). The reaction between CH and H S given with Eq. 5.47 is the well-known methane process for production of CSj. Most commercial CH -snlfur processes employ silica gel/aluminum catalyst for CSj production. The reaction of CH with sulfur is thermodynamically favorable for CSj formation, and conversion is usually in the range of 90 to 95% with respect to methane (Arpe, 1989). The industrial CH -sulfur pro-...

The CH(a4 ) is made by multiphoton dissociation of CHBr3. A rate coefficient was reported for reaction with 02, but no reaction could be observed between the CH and CH4, H2, or D2. The rate coefficients are at least 102 to 103 times smaller than the corresponding values for the ground state, CH(X27r). This method has been applied to reaction of CH(a4 ) with NO, N2, N20, CO, C02, and H20 [130]. Rate coefficients at 294 K were reported for reaction with NO and CO. With the remainder of the species investigated, reaction was slow, and upper limits to the rate coefficients were reported.

Previous studies on the reactions of CH employed either the vacuum ultra-violet photodissociation (2) or the electron beam dissociation (3) of CH4 to generate the radical. The formation and decay of the CH was monitored by UV absorption spectroscopy on the C — X transition at 314 nm. The results of the former study (2), which relied partly on final product analysis, are considerably smaller (by a factor of 10 to 40) than the values of Bosnali and Perner (3) and our present data for the reactions with H2, N2 and CH4. The agreement between ours and those of Bosnali and Perner, although significantly better, is only fair and lies within a factor of 2 to 5. Further work is certainly needed in order to reconcile these two sets of data. 

The oxidation reaction of CH with CuO is shown in Figure 7 and the reoxidation of Cu in Figure 8. In this case, both the reduction and reoxidation are irreversible the only improvement is due to the increase in the number of gaseous moles, increasing the efficiency at higher pressures.
