Conclusions
-
1.
It was shown using radioactive carbon monoxide that the negligible consumption of CO under conditions of hydropolymerization of ethylene on a cobalt catalyst at 190° is not accompanied by regeneration of CO during the reaction. The carbon atoms from CO are incorporated into one of several dozen newly formed molecules.
-
2.
The molar radioactivity, averaged over the fractions of hydrocarbons, varies correspondingly to the change in the molecular weight (with the exception of the C4 fraction); the possible causes of this phenomenon are discussed.
-
3.
Under the conditions of hydropolymerization of ethylene with labeled carbon monoxide, the greatest radioactivity is detected inα-olefins and the corresponding saturated hydrocarbons;β-olefins have a lower molar radioactivity and are obtained primarily in the cis-form.
-
4.
A small difference is observed in the distribution of carbon from CO among hydrocarbons when it is weakly or intensively consumed in the reaction.
