The hydroperoxide formed during the oxidation of n-heptane in a motored CFR engine and in a flow system has been identified as a heptyl-ketohydroperoxide. This compound, probably the branching agent in the oxidation chain reaction, is responsible for autoignition in a CFR engine supplied with air n-

β¦ Synopsis
During the oxidation of n-butane in a flow system and also in a motored CFR engine (600 rpm) hydrogen peroxide, primary and secondary butylhydroperoxides, and peracetic acid are formed. In the CFR engine these peroxides appear only when the compression ratio is larger than 10:1 (Tmu = 650 K). No autoignition has been observed.
A comparison of n-butane and n-heptane oxidation is presented. Isomerization reactions, which are correlated with the alkane structure and the octane number, account for the differences in the experimental results.

The low-temperature oxidation of higher molecular mass hydrocarbons and its relationship with the autoignition has been studied by following the oxidation of n-heptane and n-tetradecane at temperature and pressure conditions closer to the actual conditions occurring inside internal combustion engine
Reactions of n-C,H,O radicals have been investigated in the temperature range 343-503 K in mixtures of O,/N, at atmospheric pressure. Flow and static experiments have been performed in quartz and Pyrex vessels of different diameters, walls passivated or not towards reactions of radicals, and product
Kinetic and equilibrium data are presented for the sorption of n-butane in Linde 5A zeolite crystals and pellets. It is shown that the clay binder which is present in the pellets acts merely as an inert d&rent with no significant effect on the sorptive properties. Thus, provided sorbate concentratio
