Ozone-assisted Oxidation of Ethylene in a Jet-Stirred Reactor: an Experimental and Modeling Study

Ozone addition is a promising method to achieve improvement and control of combustion/ignition processes due to ozone-derived chemistry. However, the complexity induced by ozonolysis reactions make investigations on O3-assisted oxidation with alkenes still scarce. In this work, the ozone-assisted oxidation of ethylene was studied in a jet-stirred reactor from 300 to 1000 K. The main products were identified and quantified by mass spectrometry/gas chromatography analysis. The mole fractions were then compared to those computed with a kinetic model from the literature. This work provides data for the development of detailed chemical kinetic models relevant to atmospheric and combustion chemistry studies.
