Abstract

A kinetic study of the reaction of acetylene with cuprous oxide suspended in water is reported. It has been found that the reaction starts after an induction period which is a strong function of temperature. The reaction is chemically controlled at 17 and 27 °C, while at higher temperatures gas-liquid mass transfer contributes significantly. The reaction rate constants were obtained using the Levenspiel model and the true activation energy was found to be 20.15 kcal/mol.
