Abstract
The gas-phase oxidation of ethylcyclohexane (ECH) is studied in a jet-stirred reactor (JSR) at atmospheric pressure, 480-780 K and equivalence ratios of 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 using synchrotron VUV photoionization mass spectrometry. ECH presents more profound low-T reactivity than cyclohexane and methylcyclohexane. A series of oxidation intermediates are detected, including alkyl hydroperoxides, ketohydroperoxides and highly oxidized multifunctional molecules. For the first time, this work reports a low-temperature oxidation model of ethylcyclohexane, which can well capture the low-T reactivity and negative temperature coefficient (NTC) behavior in this work and literature work. Based on modeling analysis, the two-step O2 addition mechanism is concluded to dominate the chain branching in the first low-T decomposition region (560-600K) while the third O2 addition presents much less contribution to chain-branching.
