In this study, reaction rate constants are derived for H abstraction by H02 from the three distinct locations of H in ethylbenzene (primary, secondary and aromatic H, with H on the ortho carbon taken as an example of unreactive aromatic H) as well as for the addition of H at the four possible sites. Rate constants are provided in the simple Arrhenius form. The dominant channel at all temperatures is found to be H abstraction from the secondary C-H bonds of the ethyl chain, whereas abstractions from the primary C-H bonds also contribute significantly at higher temperatures. Reasonable agreement was obtained with the limited literature data. Addition at the four sites of the aromatic ring and abstraction of one of the C-H aromatic bonds are rather unimportant for all temperatures. The results presented herein should be useful in modeling the lower temperature oxidation of alkylbenzenes.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:55:59 AEST ]]> Pyrolysis and decomposition pathways of alphacypermethrin under non-oxidative conditions https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:9032 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:20:03 AEST ]]> Formation of toxic species in thermal decomposition of captan https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:9027 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:29:17 AEST ]]> Predicting the heat of formation of chlorinated phenols and associated chlorine isotopologues https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13195 37Cl on the heat of formation of a series of polychlorinated phenols.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:19:32 AEST ]]> Dissociative adsorption of molecular oxygen on the Cu(001) surface: a density functional theory study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:9034 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:19:45 AEST ]]> Analogues to mineral sequestration of CO₂: sources of carbon in magnesite of Attunga magnesite quarry, NSW, Australia, a stable isotope study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:12061 Sat 24 Mar 2018 10:33:05 AEDT ]]> Conversion of wood pyrolysates to PCDD/F https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:8034 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:36:48 AEDT ]]> Kinetic modeling of low-temperature oxidation of coal https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1400 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:28:01 AEDT ]]> Assessing influence of experimental parameters on formation of PCDD/F from ash derived from fires of CCA-treated wood https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1753 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:27:27 AEDT ]]> Ab-initio electronic structure, optical, dielectric and bonding properties of lizardite-1T https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:12465 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:17:50 AEDT ]]> First-principles study of the electronic, optical and bonding properties in dolomite https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:12461 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:17:50 AEDT ]]> Electronic, optical and bonding properties of MgCO₃ https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:9888 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:12:47 AEDT ]]> The effect of catalyst modification on the conversion of glycerol to allyl alcohol https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21066 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:59:25 AEDT ]]> Sequestration of atmospheric CO₂ in a weathering-derived, serpentinite-hosted magnesite deposit: ¹⁴ C tracing of carbon sources and age constraints for a refined genetic model https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18370 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:52:39 AEDT ]]> Theoretical investigation into the low-temperature oxidation of ethylbenzene https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20191 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:51:32 AEDT ]]> Modified exponential schemes for convection-diffusion problems https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4970 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:46:56 AEDT ]]> Chemical and isotopic signatures of waters associated with the carbonation of ultramafic mine tailings, Woodsreef Asbestos Mine, Australia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30332 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:31:49 AEDT ]]> Formation of dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans in oxidation of 2-chlorophenol over iron oxide/silica surface https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28939 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:31:27 AEDT ]]> Oxidation of a Model PCB (4-Chlorobiphenyl) in Catalytic and Non-Catalytic Flow Reactors and Formation of PCDF https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28926 600°C). The low temperature phenomena have been studied by quantum chemical techniques and reaction mechanisms to explain products’ formation (including the MCD 3-chlorodibenzofuran) are given. 3-Chlorodibenzofuran (the simplest PCDF) and benzaldehyde are important low temperature products produced by O2 (1∆) in reactors (1) and (2). Both O2 (1∆) and ground state O2 (3 Σ g) can displace Cl atoms from 4-chlorobiphenyl to produce polychlorobenzenes although only O2 (1Δ) produces significant yields of chlorobenzenes at low temperatures.
