Decompositions of Di-t-alkyl Peroxides. III. Kinetics in Liquid Phase

A general kinetic model framework for the interpretation of adiabatic calorimeter rate data

“…Keeping in mind the various early reports on the mechanisms of decomposition of DTBP in the gas phase [15] and in various solvents [13,14,16] as well as a detailed study of thermal decomposition of cumene hydroperoxide [17] with a very similar product profile as in the case of DTBP, a consistent free radicals-based mechanism was independently derived in the present work and has been presented in Table 6 leading to the following overall reaction:…”

“…The thermal decomposition of di-t-butyl peroxide (DTBP) has been one of the most extensively studied reactions [13][14][15][16] with a view to elucidating the details of the underlying free-radical mechanism. The overall reaction is supposed to follow a first-order (or near first-order) rate dependence on the DTBP concentration.…”

“…This is also one of the most often used model reactions studied in ARC's by a number of groups (e.g., Smith et al [9], Tou and Whiting [12], Leung et al [2], Iizuka and Surianarayanan [7] to name a few). The reaction has been studied both with neat DTBP [7,9] and with DTBP dissolved in benzene [7], toluene [2,7,12], t-butyl benzene [14], isopropyl benzene [14], etc. as solvent.…”

Vapor-phase photodecomposition of aldrin and dieldrin

“…Certain steps in the overall reaction occur chiefly on the reactor walls (the "wall reaction") making rates dependent upon both the surface and surface/volume ratio. Even the identity and composition of the products may be altered (Raley et al 1948). …”

“…Details for each experiment are given in Table I. The t-Bu 2 0 2 decomposed is calculated from the equation (Raley et al, 1948):…”
