Abstract
Abstract This paper presents experimental results on the oxidation of propane and propylene in laboratory reactors and the results of their kinetic modeling, based on the mechanisms represented in literature. It was established that in the oxidation and pyrolysis of propane, chain propagation reactions involving alkyl peroxyl radicals play a significant role. The results of modeling show the possibility of quantitatively match the calculations with the experimental results obtained in laboratory-scale reactors taking into account a number of processes that occur with the participation of active intermediate components on the reactor surface. Contrary to expectations, during the conjugated oxidation of propane and propylene under these conditions, these hydrocarbons barely affect each other’s conversion.
