  • A THESIS Entitled the PYROLYSIS of ACETYLENE and RELATED
    A THESIS entitled THE PYROLYSIS OF ACETYLENE AND RELATED COMPOUNDS submitted by IAN AUSTIN READ for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London 1. ABSTRACT This thesis describes some work on the thermal decomposition of acetylene and vinylacetylene. The Introduction surveys the earlier work on the pyrolysis of these and related compounds and describes also some of the important properties of carbons formed in both pyrolytic systems and flames. Special attention is paid to the ways in which the properties of pyrolytic carbons depend on the conditions under which carbon formation occurs, and the various mechanisms by which carbon may be formed are discussed. The Experimental Section describes both the static system used for the study of the pyrolysis of acetylene and vinylacetylene, and also the gas chromatographic, electron diffraction and radio- assay techniques employed for the analysis of the reaction products. In the Results Section data are presented on the reactions of pure vinylacetylene and of vinylacetylene/acetylene mixtures. At sub-atmospheric pressures, and temperatures below about 500°C, the pyrolysis of vinylacetylene follows second-order kinetics and results mainly in the formation of polymers, the overall activation energy of the reaction being 28 kcal. moles. At higher temperatures, however, the pyrolysis is complex and results in the formation of large amounts of acetylenes ethylene, hydrogen, methane and soot. Only traces of diacetylene and methylacetylene can be detected among the products. 14 Studies of the pyrolysis of mixtures of vinylacetylene with C- acetylene show that vinylacetylene is not an intermediate in the 2. formation of surface carbon from acetylene.

  • Jointly Catalytic Synthesis of Vinyl Chloride and Chloroprene from Acetylene
    International Journal of Control and Automation Vol. 13, No. 4, (2020), pp. 55 - 62 UDC 547.314.25.057 Jointly Catalytic Synthesis of Vinyl Chloride and Chloroprene from Acetylene 1A.R. Karjavov., 2N.I. Fayzullayev., 2N.X. Musulmonov 1Samarkand Medical Institute, Uzbekistan 2Samarkand State University, Uzbekistan E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. As a result of studying the influence of the mass transfer coefficient (transportation) on the process productivity and the influence of other factors, the technological parameters of the catalytic flocculant of vinyl chloride and the chloroprene extraction reactor of acetylene were calculated and the main indicators of the compatibility of technological capabilities of environmental and economic factors were substantiated. The process of co-production of vinyl chloride and chloroprene by hydrochlorination of acetylene in the liquid phase was also studied. Process parameters are found that provide vinyl chloride and chloroprene with high selectivity and acetylene conversion. Some kinetic laws of acetylene hydrochlorination were also studied. As a result of the studies, a technological scheme of the combined receipt of vinyl chloride and chloroprene was created, and the material balance of the process was calculated. Key words: vinyl chloride, selectivity, acetylene, chloroprene, material balance, Polyvinyl chloride, vinylacetylene, vinylacetylene, divinylacetylene 1. Introduction Vinyl chloride and chloroprene are a valuable monomer for the production of polyvinyl chloride - artificial rubber and others. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is one of the most versatile thermoplastics with a wider range of applications than all other plastics. Not surprisingly, it is used everywhere and has a positive attitude towards it. Indeed, PVC is a universal, stable, hygienic, safe and cost-effective material that has significant advantages over other materials.

On their own, they have been shown to pose a significant health risk, with certain PAHs being linked to increased cancer risk in humans. In addition, PAHs are known to play an important role as building blocks towards larger particles, known as soot or black carbon, which contribute a significant fraction of atmospheric PM2:5 pollution (particulate matter with diameters under 2:5 µm). These particulates pose additional health risks and can also contribute to global climate change via radiative forcing.

  • Geometrically Strained Carbenes: Interdependence Among Geometry, Spin Multiplicity, and Reactivity
    Geometrically Strained Carbenes: Interdependence among Geometry, Spin Multiplicity, and Reactivity Yasutake Takahashi*, Athanassios Nicolaides*, and Hideo Tomioka* ChemistryDepartment for Materials, Faculty of Engineering, Mie University, Received July 5, 2001 Abstract : The singlet and triplet states of cyclobutenylidene 1 and benzocyclobutenylidene 2 have been stud- ied computationally (using ab initio and DFT methods) in order to assess the effect of angle strain on the S-T gap of vinyl- and phenylcarbenes. It is found that both carbenes have a singlet ground state. Cyclobutenylidene 1 has a more significant singlet-triplet gap (-25 kcal mol-1) than benzocyclobutenyli- dene 2 (-14.5 kcal mo1-1). The strong preference of 1 for a singlet ground state may be understood if it is viewed as bicyclobut-l-ene with a considerably puckered ring. Singlet benzocyclobutenylidene (12) is com- puted to have also a puckered cyclobutene ring albeit less pronounced. The lowest isomerization path avail- able for singlet cyclobutenylidene (11) is the formation of vinylacetylene, which is predicted to have a barrier of around 9 kcal moil. Our calculations suggest that singlet benzocyclobutenylidene (12) lies in a rather deep potential well and should be observable under suitable experimental conditions. However, under low-temperature Ar matrix conditions no evidence for the formation of carbene 2 was obtained from the photolysis of precursor 15. On the other hand, laser flash photolysis (LFP) of precursor 16 enables us to observe benzocyclobutenylidene at room temperature. The lifetime of carbene 12 is determined to be 0.6-0.7 ,us in cyclohexane. The mcxy value for carbene 12 is determined to be 0.43, revealing a strong electrophilic nature and ranking 12 second among the electrophilic carbenes listed in the carbene philicity spectrum.
