Thermal Decomposition of Hexane at High Pressures

Batch Hydrogenolysis Reactions of Pure Compouunds Related to Petroleum Oil

“…unrecovered components to range from four to that of feed for n-paraffins and Decalin, to and equal ten for Tetralin and naphthalene. 8 Ni + CO2. -Includes unrecovered C.+ components.…”

Pyrolysis of Propane and the Butanes at Elevated Pressure

“…Pearce and Newsome (6) studied the thermal decomposition of n-hexane at 15,000 pounds per square inch gage and found that products boilingabove, as well as below, hexane were formed. Very little olefin survived in the gaseous products.…”

“…In the more recent methods adsorbents have been employed for the removal of chlorophyll and xanthophylls. Thus, calcium hydroxide (6) and activated carbon black (4) have been advocated for this purpose. The ideal adsorbent should adsorb the carotene weakly, or not at all, it should have a strong adsorptive affinity for chlorophyll and xanthophylls, it should be inexpensive, and it should be regenerated easily for further use.…”

Thermal Decomposition of n-Hexane at High Pressures.

“…The literature contains little information on the products of decomposition of n-hexane. Pearce and Newsome (15) studied the decomposition of n-hexane at moderate pres- product distribution from the tests with nitrogen as a diluent does not agree with either reference. This is not unexpected, however, as their reaction conditions are grossly different.…”
