Abstract

The kinetics of cyclohexane oxidation in a barrier discharge reactor was simulated for a single voltage pulse. A significant difference between the yields of O3 obtained experimentally (not detected) and theoretically (15.5 wt %) suggests that O3 was absent from the reaction mixture because of a fast reaction between O(3 P) and an excited cyclohexane molecule. This hypothesis was indirectly supported by experimental data on the oxidation of a mixture of n-hexane and cyclohexene (50 : 50 wt %). The integrated rate constant of the reaction of O(3 P) with n-hexane was 1.4 × 10–12 cm3/s, which is an order of magnitude higher than the published value 1.2 × 10–13 cm3/s.
