Detailed quantitative studies are reported on the kinetics of acetonitrile pyrolysis using an isothermal quartz tubular flow reactor at 720-1033 K and 1 atm. pressure using flow rates, in nitrogen, of 2-200 ml min-'. The pyrolysis of several other nitriles (acrylonitrile, propionitrile, methacrylonitrile and benzonitrile) has also been investigated qualitatively by pyrolysis-gas Chromatography.
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.
