Abstract

AbstractAn experimental investigation in a conventional static apparatus of the oxidation of equimolecular mixtures 1,4‐dioxane‐O2 has shown that 1,4‐dioxane reacts with oxygen more readily than most hydrocarbons. Cool flames and ignitions were observed above 200°C in a pressure range up to 300 torr.The products of the slow reaction and cool flame were analyzed by gas chromatography and GC‐MS; the slow reaction gives only CO, CO2, H2CO, H2, C2H4, and H2O.A radical chain mechanism is suggested and discussed by using an evaluation of the rate constants of the possible elementary steps by the methods of thermochemical kinetics.
