Kinetics of pyrolysis of a coal model compound, 2-picoline, the nitrogen heteroaromatic analogue of toluene. 1. Product distributions
- Univ. of Sydney (Australia)
The pyrolysis of 2-picoline in dilute mixtures with argon has been investigated using the single-pulse shock tube and was found to decompose over the temperature range 1300-1550 K, at an average residence time of 800 [mu]s and uniform pressure of 14-16 atm. The major products observed were acetylene, methane, hydrogen, HCN, and cyanoacetylene. Over the studied range of mixture compositions (0.06-0.20 mol % of 2-picoline) the overall rate of disappearance of 2-picoline obeyed first-order kinetics. Arrhenius parameters for disappearance of picoline were found to be A[sub dis] = 10[sup 17.4+-1.1]s[sup [minus]1] and E[sub a,dis] = 98 [+-] 7 kcal mol[sup [minus]]. From the distribution of observed products it is concluded that the principal initiation reactions were analogous to those known to occur in toluene, the hydrocarbon analogue of 2-picoline, and were found to be C-C bond fission to yield the o-pyridyl and methyl radicals and C-H fission to yield H atoms and 2-picolyl, the N-containing analogue of benzyl. 28 refs., 11 figs.
