Methane conversion to ethylene and acetylene---optimal control with chlorine, oxygen and heat flux. A. Rojnuckarin et al. Ind. Engng. Chem. Res., March 1996, 35(3), 683--696.
A detailed chlorine-catalysed oxidative pyrolysis mechanism was used in the calculations. Two mechanistic routes, one involving CH3Cl or CH2Cl when chlorine is present and the other involving C2H6 or C2H5, were found to be dominant. Optimum control by varying chlorine and oxygen concentrations, or the temperature profile was simulated. More than 40% yield of either ethylene or acetylene could be obtained at optimum conditions. 32 refs.
