Atmospheric sink of styrene, α-methylstyrene, trans-β-methylstyrene and indene: Rate constants and mechanisms of the Cl atoms initiated degradation

The kinetics and products of the oxidation of four aromatic compounds, i.e. styrene, α-methylstyrene, trans-β-methylstyrene and indene, with Cl atoms were determined at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. Kinetic experiments were carried out in a 400 L Teflon reaction chamber using GC-FID for...

description The kinetics and products of the oxidation of four aromatic compounds, i.e. styrene, α-methylstyrene, trans-β-methylstyrene and indene, with Cl atoms were determined at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. Kinetic experiments were carried out in a 400 L Teflon reaction chamber using GC-FID for the analysis of reactants and products were determined using a 56 L quartz-glass reactor coupled to FTIR spectrophotometer.
