Abstract

Methyl sulfide and oxygen react explosively at temperatures as low as 210° C. At 195° C the non-explosive reaction exhibits an initiation stage and a main stage. The rate of the main stage as determined from pressure-time curves is linearly dependent on initial oxygen pressure but substantially independent of initial methyl sulfide pressure. The extent of the initiation stage is reduced by increase in the oxygen pressure. The chief oxidation products are sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide. Even with an excess of oxygen not all methyl sulfide reacts.
