Abstract
1. The use of the method of gaseous initiation of liquid-phase chain reactions, consisting in addition of nitrogen dioxide to the air for a short time at thebeginning of the reaction, makes it possible to shorten the induction period for the oxidation of paraffin considerably. With a 30-minute initiation by air containing 0.35% of N02, the induction period is ten hours, as compared to 366 hours in absence of initiator. 2. Greater additions of N02 have an unfavorable effect on the oxidation process, reducing the maximum yields of acids. When there is a continuous feed of N02, acids are not formed in appreciable amount 3. It was shown that water formed in the reaction has an inhibiting effect on the maximum yields of acids and increases the induction period for the oxidation of paraffin initiated by nitrogen dioxide.
