Interest in soot formation in binary hydrocarbon mixtures has increased in recent years. Besides the very practical aspects of such knowledge, the subject is of interest from a fundamental point of view: to provide additional information for the elucidation of the soot formation mechanism. There is evidence, both experimental and theoretical, that the key chemical reactions leading to soot formation in hydrocarbon systems are those between aliphatic and aromatic species. The importance of such reactions was suggested as early as 1960 by Stehling et al. This paper presents the results of a shock-tube pyrolysis study on soot formation from a series of binary hydrocarbon mixtures: benzene-additive, where the additives were acetylene, allene, vinylacetylene and 1,3-butadiene; and allene-acetylene, butadiene-acetylene and acetylene-hydrogen.
