Mathematical simulation of gas phase reactions — Combustion of carbon disulphide

1016-1020Combustion of fossil fuels generate large amounts of toxic gases such as CO, SO2 and SO3. A study of combustion of carbon disulphide may be useful in understanding the nature of products formed and their residence time under defined conditions. The present investigation shows the formation of different transient species and their fate as a function of oxygen concentration. The results show that one of the toxic products, CO, is rapidly oxidised to CO2 and there exists an equilibrium between SO2 and SO3 the ratio of the two oxides being 1: 1.107 at equilibrium
