The Thermal Oxidation of Methylamine.

Abstract : The oxidation of methylamine was studied over the temperature range of 1320 to 1600 K in the post-flame region of a non-iso-thermal flow reactor. Combustion product analysis was performed by means of a gas chromatograph equipped with chemiluminescent detector capable of quantitatively measuring small concentrations of a wide variety of nitrogen containing species. Concentration profiles of a major nitrogen containing combustion products were obtained. An activation energy of about 53 kjoule/mole for the global oxidation and reaction order of one with respect to methylamine were extracted from this data. (Author)
