Hydrogen abstraction from (CH3),S and CH3COCH3 by CH3 radicals CH3+CH3SCH3 → CH4+CH3SCH2 CH3 + CH3COCH3 → CH4 + CH3COCH2 has been studied in the temperature range 120-245�. The rate constants, based on the value of 1013.34cm3 mol-l s-1 for the recombination of CH3 radicals, are given by (k in cm3 mol-1 s-1, E in kJ mol-1, R = 0.008314 kJ K-1 mol-1): logk1 = (11.62 � 0.08) ? (38.35 � 0.68)/2.303RT logk3 = (11.61 � 0.05) ? (40.48 � 0.46)/2.303RT Combination of the results for (1) with thermochemical data gives a calculated value of Logk-1 = (11.8 -63.7/2.303RT for the rate constant of the reverse reaction. The results for CH3+(CH3)2S are compared with all of the available data for hydrogen abstraction by free radicals from both sulphur-containing compounds, and molecules of the type (CH3)xM.

Hydrogen atom abstraction from (CH3)2S by CF3 radicals has been studied in the temperature range 79-167�: (1) CF3 + CH3SCH3 ←→ CF3H + CH3SCH2 (-1) The rate constant, based on Ayscough's value of 1013.36cmS mol-l s-l for the recombination of CF3 radicals, is given by (k1 in cm3 mol-1 s-l, E in J mol-l): Logk1 = (12.05 � 0.02)-(28710 � 130)/2.303RT Combination of these results with thermochemical data gives a calculated value of log k-1 = 12.2 - 62600/2.303RT for the rate constant of the reverse reaction. ΔH�f(CH3SCH2) and S�(CH3SCH2) are estimated to be 155.6 kJ mol-l and 290 J K-l mol-1 respectively.

Rate constants for the recombination of CH3 radicals have been measured by means of the rotating sector technique in the temperature range 373- 463 K, and at a pressure of 30 Torr . CH3 radicals were produced by the photolysis of acetone, and the experimental data were fitted to sector curves generated from Shepp's theory. The results give kb = (2.81�0.22)×1013 cm3 mol-1 s-1, which, under the chosen experimental conditions, is close to its high-pressure limiting value. A comparison is made with the other values of the rate constant reported in the literature, and a best value is suggested.

Hydrogen abstraction from CF3COOCH3 and CH3COCH3 by CH3 radicals CF3 + CF3COOCH3 → CH4 + CF3COOCH2 (1) CF3 + CF3COOCH3 → CH4 + CH3COCH2 (3) has been studied in the temperature range 117-244�. The rate constants, based on the value of 1013.34 cm3 mol-1 s-1 for the recombination of CH3 radicals, are given by (k in cm3 mol-1 s-1 and E in J mol-1) : logk1 = (10.39 � 0.11)- (37680 � 880)/19.145T logk3 = (11.53 � 0.02)- (40590 � 170)/19.145T CF3COOCH3 is less susceptible to attack by CH3 radicals than by CF3 radicals by a factor of 2.8 at 400 K, due mainly to a difference in A factors, since the activation energies of the two reactions are almost identical. These results can be rationalized in terms of intermolecular polar repulsion between the CF3 radical and CF3COOCH3.

Hydrogen abstraction from H2S by CH3 radicals, produced by the photolysis of azomethane, has been studied in the temperature range 334-432 K. The rate constant, based on the value 1013.34 cm3 mol-1 s-1 for the recombination of CH3 radicals, is given by log k4 = (11.00 � 0.01) - (8760 � 80)/19.145T where k4 is in cm3 mol-1 s-1 and E is in J mol-1. The previous data reported for this reaction are discussed and best values for its Arrhenius parameters are recommended. The results indicate that CH3 radicals react faster than CF3 radicals with H2S; this confirms the importance of polar effects in the hydrogen abstraction reactions of CF3 radicals.

A study of hydrogen abstraction by CH3 radicals from CH3COOCH3 in the temperature range 116-224°, and from CD3COOCH3 in the range 117-234°, has yielded data on the reactions: CH3 + CH3COOCH3 → CH4 + [C3H5O2] (4) CH3 + CH3COOCH3 → CH4 + CH2COOCH3 (5) CH3 + CH3COOCH3 → CH4 + CH3COOCH2 (6) CH3 + CD3COOCH3 → CH3D + CD2COOCH3 (7) The corresponding rate constants, based dn the value of 1013.34 cm3 mol-1 s-1 for the recombination of CH3 radicals, are given by (k in cm3 mol-1 s-1 and E in J mol-1): logk4 = (11.56 ± 0.12) - (44430 ± 970)/19.145T (4) logk5 = (11.17 ± 0.22) - (42900 ± 1760)/19.145T (5) logk6 = (11.44 ± 0.16) - (46980 ± 1290)/19.145T (6) logk7 = (11.39 ± 0.04) - (52110 ± 330)/19.145T (7) At 400 K, 64% of abstraction occurs from the acetyl group, and 36% from the methoxy group. The kinetic isotope effect at 400 K for attack on the acetyl group is 9.6; this is mainly due to a difference in activation energies since the quotient of A factors is close to unity.

AbstractAn oxygendeficient magnetite (Fe3O4–8) has been found to exist in the range of (0<Δ<0.12) in the course of H2-reduction of magnetite to αFe at 300°C. The formation of the oxygendeficient magnetite was studied kinetically. In the temperature range of 250 350°C, the rate constants, k1, and k2, were determined for the forward and reverse reactions, respectively. The rate of formation of the oxygendeficient magnetite depended on the partial pressure of H2 gas. The rate constant, k1, was 109.58 at 300°C and the reaction order was 1.11 with respect to the partial pressure of H2 gas. The rate of reverse reaction depended on the partial pressure H2O gas and the oxygen deficiency of magnetite, Δ. The rate constant of the reverse reaction, k2, was 10−2.54 at 300°C, and the reaction orders were 0.45 and 0.99 with respect to the partial pressure of H2O gas and the Δ value respectively. The activation energies for the forward and reverse reactions were determined to be 63.8 kJ.mol−1 and 25.5 kJ.mol−1 from the Arrhenius' equation.

The hydrogen abstraction reaction of CH 3 CH 2 C(O)OCH 2 CH 3 + OH has been studied theoretically by dual-level direct dynamics method. Six H-abstraction channels were found for this reaction. The required potential energy surface information for the kinetic calculations was obtained at the MCG3-MPWB//M06-2X/aug-cc-pVDZ level. The rate constants were calculated by the improved canonical variational transition-state theory with small-curvature tunneling correction (ICVT/SCT) approach in the temperature range of 200–2000 K. It is shown that the "methylene H-abstraction" from the alkoxy end of the ester CH 3 CH 2 C(O)OCH 2 CH 3 is the dominant channel at lower temperature (< 400 K), while the other channels from the acetyl end should be taken into account as the temperature increases and become the competitive ones at higher temperature. The calculated global rate constants are in good agreement with the experimental ones in the measured temperature range and exhibit a negative temperature dependence below 500 K. A four-parameter rate constant expression was fitted from the calculated kinetic data between 200–2000 K.

Mixtures of ethylene and methane have been pyrolyzed in the temperature range 925–1023 K for the purpose of converting methane to higher hydrocarbons. Addition of methane to thermally-reacting ethylene increases the rate of formation of propylene but decreases the rates of formation of the other major products, ethane, acetylene, and butadiene. Hydrogen abstraction from methane is a major propagation reaction and causes a shift in the radical distribution from ethyl and vinyl radicals, the main radicals in the pyrolysis reactions of ethylene alone, to methyl radicals, which lead to the formation of propylene. At 1023 K with a pressure of ethylene of 6.5 Torr and of methane of 356 Torr, 1.5 mol of methane is converted to higher molecular weight products for every mole of ethylene reacted. The rate of conversion of methane in the homogeneous system is lower than in catalytic reactions but the product is entirely hydrocarbon and no methane is lost to carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide. Key words: methane, ethylene, kinetics, pyrolysis, fuels.
