A study has been made of the effect of the surface-to-volume ratio of the reaction vessel and of coatings of various inorganic substances on the vessel walls on the gas-phase oxidation of methanol catalysed by nitric oxide. The results show that, whereas packing the vessel does not have a marked effect on the rate, the kinetics of the reaction are profoundly influenced by the nature of the surface. The results suggest that the methanol-oxidation chains are initiated at the surface by reaction between methanol and nitrogen dioxide, and that HO2 radicals play an important role in the subsequent chain reaction.

An experimental study of the homogeneous gas phase oxidation of propane at 350 °C and subatmospheric pressure has been performed in order to identify and to measure the major primary products of the reaction. The experimental results have been interpreted by a chain radical mechanism, deduced from these results and from estimates of the rate constants for the elementary steps obtained by the methods of Thermochemical Kinetics. The proposed elementary steps are discussed and compared with the experimental observations. The results that we have obtained and their interpretation are compared with a similar detailed investigation performed on the oxidation of isobutane. As in the case of isobutane, two parallel reaction pathways appear, a dominant one leading to the conjugated alkene (propylene) and another one leading to the epoxide of this olefin (here propylene oxide). The oxidation of isobutane and that of propane appear to be quite similar, which corroborates the results that we have obtained. Key words: oxidation, kinetics, reaction mechanism, propane, thermochemical kinetics.

The homogeneous, gas-phase oxidation of methanol, catalysed by small amounts of hydrogen bromide, has been studied in a boric acid coated vessel at 310�. Under these conditions no reaction takes place in the absence of hydrogen bromide. The kinetics of the reaction and the rate of accumulation of formaldehyde in the products are compared with previously published data on the nitric oxide catalysed reaction at 310� and the uncatalysed reaction at 390�, i.e. at comparable rates of oxidation. The kinetics of the reaction were studied by means of pressure-time curves, and these were found to be of a similar shape to those of the uncatalysed reaction at 390�, and the nitric oxide catalysed reaction at 310�. The maximum rate was increased by the addition of "inert" gas. This rate varied as the methanol and hydrogen bromide pressures raised to the powers 0.7 and 1.3 respectively. On the other hand, increase in the oxygen pressure inhibited the maximum rate. The overall activation energy was 27 kcal mole-1. These kinetic data are similar to those of the nitric oxide catalysed reaction but differ markedly from those of the uncatalysed process at 390�. Under similar conditions, 15 mmHg hydrogen bromide were required to give a rate approximately equal to that obtained when using 2 mmHg nitric oxide. The maximum pressure of formaldehyde in the products was only about one-tenth of that obtained under similar conditions in the other two oxidations.
