Comprehensive Kinetic Model for Adiabatic Decomposition of Di-tert-butyl Peroxide Using BatchCAD
نویسنده
چکیده
This is the first comprehensive study on the kinetic modeling of adiabatic decomposition of ditert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) and its solvent mixtures. The adiabatic thermal decomposition of DTBP and its solvent mixtures was examined using an accelerating rate calorimeter under varying thermal inertia. The decomposition products were characterized using gas chromatography-total inorganic carbon analysis and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy to elucidate the mechanistic pathways for decomposition under adiabatic conditions. Reaction models (overall stoichiometric equations) for the decomposition of neat DTBP and its mixture in various solvents have been proposed for the first time. A comprehensive kinetic analysis based on simultaneous treatment of mass and energy balances has been done using a software called BatchCAD. The activation energies for the decomposition of DTBP and its mixtures in various solvents were quite consistent. This comprehensive study has answered to many ambiguities and questions on the mechanism of DTBP decomposition and its kinetics.

Automatic mechanism generation for pyrolysis of di-tert-butyl sulfide.
The automated Reaction Mechanism Generator (RMG), using rate parameters derived from ab initio CCSD(T) calculations, is used to build reaction networks for the thermal decomposition of di-tert-butyl sulfide. Simulation results were compared with data from pyrolysis experiments with and without the addition of a cyclohexene inhibitor. Purely free-radical chemistry did not properly explain the re...

The oxygen–oxygen bond dissociation enthalpies in di-tert-butyl peroxide (Me3CO–OCMe3) and di-trifluoromethyl peroxide (F3CO– OCF3) were determined using MP2, the hybrid functional B3LYP, and the CBS-QB3 method. Comparison of the performances of these methods, with particular emphasis on extrapolation procedures to infinite basis-set, showed that only CBS-QB3 is suitable for the accurate calcul...
متن کاملDecomposition of vitamin D by the hydroperoxide formed from 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol during alkali saponification.
When vitamin D2 was saponified with addition of BHT in an alkaline solution, the low recoveries were observed. These were confirmed to be due to the oxidation of vitamin D2 by 2, 6-di-tert-butyl-4-methyl-4-hydroperoxy-2, 5 -cyclohexadiene-1-one formed from BHT during alkali saponification. The de composition of vitamin D2 was protected by the addition of sufficient quantities of sodium ascorbat...

The acid property of alkali and alkali earth cation exchanged clinoptiolites were observed by micro-calorimetry of NH(3) adsorption at 200 degrees C. The reaction rates on decomposition of tert-butyl acetate (TBA) over clinoptilolites was proportional to the acid strength. 1,4-Dihydropyridines were oxidized to corresponding Pyridines in high yields at room temperature by H(2)O(2) aqueous soluti...
