S. Lee et al., EFFECTS OF POST-FLAME FUEL-INJECTION ON THE DESTRUCTION OF CHLORINATED HYDROCARBONS, Combustion science and technology, 101(1-6), 1994, pp. 247-260
The effects of post-flame fuel injection on the destruction of chlorin
ated hydrocarbons has been studied in a combustion flow reactor. All t
hree fuels studied (CH4, C2H6, and CO) enhance the destruction of CH3C
l. CO is the only effective post-fame fuel for the destruction of C2H5
Cl, and none of the fuels improve the destruction of 1,1,1-C2H3Cl3. Th
ese results are explained by considering the destruction mechanisms: u
nimolecular reactions are not influenced by fuel addition, and bimolec
ular reactions involving radicals can be enhanced or inhibited, depend
ing on the nature of both the fuel and CHC.
