Notes:
Using the technique of CO2 laser photosensitized decomposition, ethane and propane decomposition was investigated in relation to energy transfer from an SF6 photosensitizer to the hydrocarbon. The end products appearing in the course of irradiation are similar to those formed during classical thermal pyrolysis. The energy transfer from SF6 to the hydrocarbon is closely related to hydrocarbon decomposition. A similar overall kinetic behavior for the two alcanes allows the use of a general diffusional kinetic treatment, provided pressure, intensity, and duration of irradiation are well defined.
