Research Abstract
The photolytically Cl initiated oxidation reaction of ETBE was investigated at the Advanced Light Source located in the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Using the multiplex photoionization mass spectrometer data were collected at the low pressure (4-8 Torr) and temperature (298 – 700 K) regimes. Data analysis was performed via characterization of the reaction species photoionization spectra and kinetic traces. A reaction schematic including branching fractions determination is presented and discussed.
