Abstract:To trace the behavior of naphthalene in the pyrolysis of coal tar, the pyrolysis of coal tar containing 14 C-labeled naphthalene was carried out at 800-950 °C for 40-50 s. It was found that naphthalene has significant pyrolysis reactivity. The distributions of the radioactivities in compounds with 3-5 rings were 21.6, 30.3, and 18.6% at 800, 900, and 950 °C for 50 s, respectively. Furthermore, the distributions of the recovered radioactivity in THFI at 800, 900, and 950 °C for 50 s were 1.6, 5.3, and 47%, resp… Show more
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.
