Abstract

The reactions of carbon with the products of hydrogen, oxygen and water microwave discharges have been studied at room temperature and low pressures. The reaction between atomic hydrogen and carbon occurred at an insignificant rate if the carbon was located outside the discharge. Small amounts of hydrocarbons, both gaseous and solid, were observed if carbon was placed directly in the hydrogen discharge. An extensive reaction occurred between atomic oxygen and carbon, when the carbon was either in or outside of the discharge. Carbon monoxide was the major reaction product. The products of a water discharge reacted with carbon giving principally a hydrogen-carbon monoxide mixture.
