Pyrocarbon deposition from methane was studied at ambient pressure and a temperature of 1100°C using a vertical hot-wall reactor with a honeycomb structure as substrate. Compared to the deposition tube used in previous studies this substrate exhibits a 15fold increase in surface area. The methane in

✦ Synopsis
The chemistry of carbon deposition from methane as a function of methane pressure was studied at a temperature of 21 1100 8C and surface area / volume ratios of 0.8 and 3.2 mm by analysis of both gaseous and condensing, i.e. aromatic reaction products. Conversion of methane as well as the yields of the hydrocarbons formed increase with increasing pressure. The surface area / volume ratio has a significant influence on the formation of aromatic hydrocarbons showing much higher yields at the lower ratio. This result, expected from preceding studies of deposition rates, confirms that a change of this ratio leads to a change of the deposition chemistry of carbon.
