Chemical structures of atmospheric-pressure, fuel-rich (sooting), premixed, laminar flames of CH{sub 2}Cl{sub 2} and CH{sub 4} have been investigated using a flat-flame burner as a function of equivalence ratio and fuel ratio (CH{sub 2}Cl{sub 2}/CH{sub 4}). Species mole fraction profiles were determined by hot-water-cooled micro-probe coupled to an on-line gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer. In addition to those of the reactants, the mole fraction profiles for CO, CO{sub 2}, HCl, H{sub 2}O, CH{sub 3}Cl, CHCl{sub 3}, C{sub 2}H{sub 2}, C{sub 2}H{sub 4}, C{sub 2}H{sub 6}, 1,2-C{sub 2}H{sub 2}Cl{sub 2}, 1,1-C{sub 2}H{sub 2}Cl{sub 2}, C{sub 2}HCl{sub 3}, C{sub 2}H{sub 3}Cl, 1,1,2,2-C{sub 2}H{sub 2}Cl{sub 4}, C{sub 4}H{sub 4}, C{sub 4}H{sub 2}, C{sub 6}H{sub 6} and C{sub 6}H{sub 5}Cl were determined. The roles of these species, in view of the current ideas of the mechanism of CH{sub 2}Cl{sub 2} combustion are discussed.
