TITLE-. A comparative study of the kinetics of transformation of
various hydrocarbons into acetylene during electric discharge
in a static system
PERIODICAL: Akademiya nauk SSSR. Doklady, v. 141, no- 1, 1961, 117-120
TEXT; The authors compared the kinetics of electrocracking of CH 4; C 2H6;
C3H8' C2H4 ; and C H6# They studied cracking under static conditions with
the use of glow and are discharges with high voltage. Pressure was 35 and
70 mm, Hg, amperage 100 and 300 ma. The methods were thoroughly described by
Ye. V. Yeremin and M. Z. AlItshuler et al. (ZhFKh, 20, no. 5 (1947)). After
the experiment, gas samples were analyzed for their Tontent of C 2H21 C2HV
and C3H6' Hydrogen was burned on copper oxide at 250 0C. CH 41 C2H6' and r/
C3Ha were determined from the residue after H 2 combustion. Kinetic calcula-
tions considered the two most important reaction directionat

The total constant of the decomposition rate of hydrocarbons was determined
from the first-order equation: K I + K2 ' (1/t)ln PAI - A)], where & is
the degree of total transformation (ratio of the amount decomposed to the
initial amount). First, theacetylene yield rises; after prolonged reaction,
its concentration drops due to decomposition. The low energy consumption,
as compared with production of C 2H 2from carbide, shows the advantages of
cracking (Table 2). The fraction of total energy thermochemically required
for producing a certain amount of C 2H 2can be estimated from the thermo-
chemical efficiency (-q) of the discharge (Table 2). Its high value
(0-4 - 0-5) distinguishes electrocracking from other endothermic reactions
during discharge. To explain this, a chain mechanism is assumed. Though
the kinetic constants (Table 1) have similar values for different hydrocar-
bons, the sum K I+ K 2 increases on transition to high amperages and with
Card 21# q

Increasing electrode spacing. The cracking ability of all hydrocarbons
increases, to the same extent, on transition to a more powerful discharge.
If the initial cracking rate is expressed by (Ki+K 2)*Pinit (Pini t being the
initial hydrocarbon pressure), and if this rate is referred to the unit
energy, it is found that the value determined, or the "energetic capacity
of the discharge" (Yo. N. Yeremin, Khim- prom., no. 2, 73 (1958); ZhFKh, 32,
no. 11, 2543 (1958)) maintains approximate constancy for all hydrocarbons,
irrospective of test conditions. Possible deviations are not regrular and
only accidental. This conclusion may be interpreted by ntating that the
rate of transformation of hydrocarbons in a glowing arc does not depend on
their structure but on the energy of discharge. Electrocracking of the
hydrocarbons mentioned may be conducted by the technological procedure of
CH4 cracking; it will raise the yield in C2H2 and save enerey. There tAre
I figure, 2 tables, and 5 Soviet references.

The activation is due to a transformation of the slightly active, glowing
discharge into a chemically more active arc discharge. The molecular
temperatures or the 2atter are higher and thus have a positive effect
upon cracking. It to aseumed that only electron activation causes

(report II). The interaction of atomic hydrogen
with H 202
?ERIODICAL; Moscow. Universitet. Yeatnik. Seriya II, Khimiyaj
no. 3, 1962, 24 - 25
TEXT: The reactions of atomic hydrogen with H202 in the
vaDor and solid states were studied at -1960 C to explain the mecha-
nism of dissociation of -n20 vapor induced by an electric discharge.
This reaction only occurs in the gas phase, when an almost complete
conversion nC H 20 2into H 20 is achieved. The mechanism is described
by H 202 + H H2O+OH+45 Kcal- and OH+H---> H 20 + 114-5Kcal.
The absence of a reaction between H atoms and solid H 0 is attributed
