Abstract
The effect of 1-didecyl sulphide, diethyl disulphide, p,p'-dichlorodiphenyl disulphide, 1-butanethiol, 0,0'-di-1-butyl dithiophosphate zinc, 0,0'-diethyl dithiophosphoric acid and carbon disulphide, respectively, on the kinetics and selectivity of the thermal decomposition of heptane at 700 °C and 100 kPa was studied in a stainless steel flow-through tube reactor. The sulphur substance content was 0.1-1.0 wt.%. 1-Didecyl sulphide, p,p'-dichlorodiphenyl disulphide, 1-butylthiol, 0,0'-di-1-butyl dithiophosphate zinc and carbon disulphide favour the decomposition of heptane by 5-17%. A decrease in the heptane decomposition rate was observed in the presence of diethyl disulphide (2.8%) and 0,0'-diethyl dithiophosphoric acid (13.9%). The selectivity of decomposition to ethylene is increased by diethyl disulphide, p,p'-dichlorodiphenyl disulphide, carbon disulphide and 1-didecyl sulphide and, in the range of short reaction times, also by 0,0'-diethyl dithiophosphoric acid, 0,0'-di-1-butyl dithiophosphate zinc and 1-butanethiol.
