GAS-TO-GAS REACTOR AND METHOD OF USING

A device and a process to propagate molecular growth of hydrocarbons, either straight or branched chain structures, that naturally occur in the gas phase of a first gas to gas phase molecules of a second gas having higher molecular chain lengths than the hydrocarbons of the first gas. According to one embodiment, the device includes a grounded reactor vessel having a gas inlet, a product outlet, and an electrode within the vessel; a power supply coupled to the electrode for creating an electrostatic field within the vessel for converting the first gas to a second gas.

GAS-TO-LIQUID REACTOR AND METHOD OF USING

A device and a process to propagate molecular growth of hydrocarbons, either straight or branched chain structures, that naturally occur in the gas phase to a molecular size sufficient to shift the natural occurring phase to a liquid or solid state is provided. According to one embodiment, the device includes a grounded reactor vessel having a gas inlet, a liquid outlet, and an electrode within the vessel; a power supply coupled to the electrode for creating an elecirostatic field within the vessel for converting the gas to a liquid and or solid state.

Chemical transformations of isopentane and isooctane in trifluoromethanesulfonic acid

The process of isopentane and isooctane activation in trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (H0 = -14) has been studied by GC/MS and NMR. The results show evidence for a high reactivity of isopentane. Various mechanisms constructed using the experimental data and the results of nonempirical quantum-mechanical calculations are compared, and it is concluded that a key role in the reaction under consideration is played by the direct electrophilic attack of CF3SO3H at the C2-C3 bond of isooctane.

PRODUITS MOYENS DE LA RADIOLYSE DU DIMETHYL-2,3 BUTANE EN PHASE SOLIDE

2,3 Dimethylbutane was γ-irradiated in the quenched and annealed solid states at 77 K.G-yields of intermediate (C7 to C11) compounds were measured by gas chromatography.The alkene gases produced during radiolysis at 77 K may play a major role in the production of fragment alkyl or allyl radicals trapped during the radiolysis.By combination with the alkyl parent radical, these fragment radicals lead to intermediate compounds when the irradiated sample is warmed up.Post-irradiation scavenging of trapped radicals by dissolving the irradiated alkane in a propane-oxygen mixture lowered the intermediate product yield to an extend (47percent) corresponding to the radical contribution.
