Oxidation of n-hexadecane to acids

  • Published:
Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    It is shown that during oxidation of n-hexadecane to acids in the presence of different additives, a considerable part of the target products are lost owingto accompanying decarboxylation and decarbonylation.

  2. 2.

    The investigated additives may be placed in the following order of decreasing effects on the intensity of undesirable combustion of the reaction products as CO and CO2: Mn-K soap > KMnO4 > MnSFA.

  3. 3.

    Gas-liquid chromatography revealed that the oxidation products of n-hexadecane contain all the monocarboxylic acids from acetic to palmitic, with a marked predominance of C7-C12 acids, which form about 50% of the total amount of crude aliphatic acids.
