Fouling formation of an olefin in the presence of oxygen and thiophenol

A kinetic model was developed to predict the fouling rate for autoxidation of indene in the presence of thiophenol. The kinetic constants were determined by analyzing the fouling data obtained with and without thiophenol. An initial rapid formation of hydroperoxide was observed in the presence of thiophenol; however, the product(s) formed by thiophenol was found to inhibit further formation of hydroperoxide. The maximum concentration of hydroperoxide and gum were about the same for experiments with and without thiophenol; however, the maximum was reached faster for runs with thiophenol. The effects of bulk temperature, and concentration of thiophenol and oxygen on the fouling rate were analyzed using the fouling model developed previously.
