✦ Synopsis

The origin of autocatalysis in the pyrolysis of methane has been investigated by kinetic modeling. A mechanism is presented that provides good agreement with experimental data a t 1038 K and 433 torr into the autocatalytic region. The main causes of autocatalysis are secondary initiation by hydrocarbon products larger than CzHs and chain radical methylation sequences.

The kinetics of methane hydrate decomposition was studied using a semibatch stirred-tank reactor. The decomposition was accompljshed by reducing the pressure OR a hydrate slurry in water to a value below the three-phase equilibrium pressure at the reactor temperature.
