Hydrocarbon consumption and synergistic effects in photooxidation of olefins

Single, binary, and Tertiary mixtures of ethylene, propylene, and CIS-2-butene are irradiated in the presence of nitrogen oxides in air. Data clearly demonstrate the existence of excess rates and synergistic effects in the photooxidation of olefins. Kinetics of the photooxidation of ethylene is disc...

Description
Summary:Single, binary, and Tertiary mixtures of ethylene, propylene, and CIS-2-butene are irradiated in the presence of nitrogen oxides in air. Data clearly demonstrate the existence of excess rates and synergistic effects in the photooxidation of olefins. Kinetics of the photooxidation of ethylene is discussed. The value of selective hydrocarbon control in preventing smog formation is stressed.
