Methyl nitrate (CH 3 ONO 2 ) is the most explosive of the nitrate esters, and previous studies have been confined mainly to the slow thermal decomposition, and to the vapour phase explosion at low pressures in closed vessels. A stationary decomposition flame has now been maintained and studied spectrographically. A t low pressures the zones of reaction are clearly separated. From the early stages of the flame strong formaldehyde bands are emitted. This decomposition flame has been successfully simulated in artificial mixtures of methyl nitrite with oxygen. The results obtained are in accord with the preliminary fission of the nitrate molecule in the pre-heat zone of the flame: CH 3 ONO 2 →CH 3 O + NO 2 . The combustion flame of m ethyl nitrate with oxygen, nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide has also been examined at low pressures. At atmospheric pressure, m ethyl nitrite (CH 3 ONO) has been found to support a decomposition flame of very small burning velocity. However, the combustion of m ethyl nitrite with oxygen at atmospheric pressure is an extremely fast and vigorous flame. It has been observed in both pre-mixed and diffusion systems and information about the changes occurring in it have been obtained by absorption and emission spectroscopy. All the experimental results may be interpreted in terms of two general principles: the reluctance of nitric oxide to react except at high temperatures and pressures and the frequent occurrence in flames of extensive pyrolytic reactions before the main reaction zone is reached.

A series of catalysts containing 1 wt.% Pd supported on various oxides of commercial origin have been characterised by hydrogen adsorption at 298 K and evaluated for vapour-phase phenol hydrogenation at 473 K employing an H/phenol ratio of 5.4 at atmospheric pressure. The activity of phenol hydrogenation showed a dependence on the irreversible uptake of hydrogen. Among the catalysts studied, Pd/Al2O3 showed a decrease in activity with increasing temperature while Pd/MgO passed through a maximum at 503 K. The Pd/MgO catalysts exhibited a higher dispersion of smaller Pd crystallites leading to higher activity and total selectivity for cyclohexanone. The higher resistance towards deactivation and better stability of the Pd/MgO catalysts suggest that the acidic sites of alumina may be responsible for deactivation, thereby accounting for the lowering of activity with Pd/Al2O3 catalysts.
