Abstract
The formation of soot during pyrolysis of tetrachloride carbon in the temperature interval 1423–1623 K and its mixtures with methane at 1573 K is studied under conditions close to the isothermal ones. The induction periods of soot formation from CCl4 are measured. The equations to calculate the induction period of soot formation, the concentration of soot particles, and its specific surface as a function of the temperature and concentration of CCl4 are derived. The inhibition of soot formation is observed in the isothermal pyrolysis of a CCl4−CH4 mixture. It is shown that the particle nuclei are formed only from Cl4, and the CH4 molecules are spent only for the heterogeneous growth of the formed particles.
