A detailed radical reaction model, both homogeneous and heterogeneous, is shown to describe quantitatively published initial rates of the pyrolysis of 1,2-dichloroethane in the gas phase. These data were obtained in conditioned static reactors with different surfaceto-volume ratios, in the absence (at 703 K) and presence (at 572 K) of chlorine. The pressures of 1,2-dichloroethane and chlorine vary from 20 to 500 torr and from 0 to 16 torr, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
