β¦ Synopsis
A new technique for the measurement of the growth of the surface deposit of carbon during pyrolysis has been used in conjunction with analysis of products to relate carbon formation to formation of hydrocarbon products in the pyrolysis of methane. The method involves the measurement of the absorbance of the carbon deposit formed on the surface of the vessel during pyrolysis using a He-Ne laser as the analyzing beam. It is shown that the aromatic hydrocarbon products grow exponentially with the number of carbon atoms in the molecule and that molecules sufficiently large to condense to liquid droplets in the reaction vessel may form during the induction period for carbon formation. The kinetics and mechanism of the reaction are discussed.

## Abstract With a continuous jetβstirred tank reactor operating at small space time (0.05β1.2 s) the kinetics of the formation of six minor products (ethane, isobutane, buteneβ1, 2,3βdimethylβbutane, 4βmethylpenteneβ1, and 1,5βhexadiene) are studied during the pyrolysis of propane, at small extent
The kinetics of methane pyrolysis were studied in a tubular flow reactor in the temperature range 1200 to 1500Β°C at atmospheric pressure. To avoid excessive carbon formation the reaction time was short and the methane feed was diluted with hydrogen. Ethene, ethyne, benzene and hydrogen were the main
Hydrocarbons of C 2, diluted m argon, have been pyrolysed behind incident shock waves in the range of conditions 1-12 bar pressure and 1500-2500 K temperature. The formation of carbon particles, detected both by emilion and lau, r-extinction techniques, occurred after an induction period. The effect
## Mass spectra have been taken of benzene extracts from two typical carbon blacks, under various ionising energies and ionisation chamber temperatures. The results broadly support previous studies, by other methods, in which fused-ring hydrocarbons were found to be the dominant constituents. A
