Show CONCLUSIONS The conclusions of this work are summarized by: 1. An accurate set of data has been obtained to base fundamental kinetic studies upon. 2. The appearance of a steady-state mole fraction of CO correlates well with the destruction of both the POHC and candidate PICs. 3. The presence of chlorine promotes C0H, and C_H. consumption; 2 o 2 4 however, C?H is more stable in the presence of chlorine resulting in a propensity for sooting. 4. Although multiple stage reaction zones for CH Cl9 type systems have been discounted in the literature, the data obtained tends to support a 2-stage phenomena for the system studied. 5. A unique set of experimental problems were encountered during this study and were eventually overcome. Future work will concentrate on determining the global kinetics of various CH./CH_C1_ systems. Additional experimental work will concen- 4 2 2 trate on CH,/CHC1« and CH./CC1, systems. 4 3 4 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The research described in this article has been funded in part by the United States Environmental Protection Agency through Cooperative Agreement No. CR809714010 granted to the Hazardous Waste Research Center at Louisiana State University.
