Abstract

A better understanding of the mechanism of catalytic action of lead monoxides on combustion is provided by studies showing that the lead oxides react with carbonyl and hydroxyl derivatives of hydrocarbons (whose combustion they promote), but not with ethers and hydrocarbons (whose combustion they inhibit). The principal products of reaction of lead monoxides with acetone, acetaldehyde, methanol, methyl acetate, acetic acid and acetic anhydride were analysed. The effect of metallic lead on these organic compounds was also studied.
