The formation of aromatic hydrocarbons at high temperatures. XXI. The pyrolysis of n-butylbenzene over a range of temperatures from 300° to 900° at 50° intervals

Abstract

n-Butylbenzene has been pyrolysed over a range of temperatures from 300° to 900°, at 50° intervals, and the resulting tars analysed. The optimum temperatures for the formation of 15 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons have been determined; these range from 660° to 740°.
