Abstract

The photooxidation of azomethane has been reinvestigated over a range of conversion extending to at least 7% at relatively high oxygen pressure and at 162 °C. Kinetic and tracer (added C¹³H₂O) studies support the view that the formaldehyde formed in the reaction can act as a source of the oxides of carbon. These were found to be enriched in C¹³ in the tracer work.
