Summary

The gas chromatographic reactor technique was used to study the kinetics of dicyclopentadiene dissociation in several liquid phases (Versamid 900, neopentyl glycol sebacate, Triton X-305, Carbowax 6000, ethylene glycol phthalate and diethylene glycol succinate). Reaction rates and Arrhenius parameters are reported in the temperature range of 170–200°C. Kinetic data for the lower polarity liquid phases are in good agreement with literature values for liquid phases of the same nature reported previously. Reaction rates are higher when polar liquid phases are used. This behavior can be explained as a result of side reactions which lead to high molecular weight compounds which can be observed in the reaction chromatogram.
