    Abstract

    The pyrolytic reactions of benzoic acid have been studied at three temperatures in the range from 800 to 1300 K utilizing the carbosieve technique, i.e. by pyrolysis of benzoic acid-loaded carbosieve. The initial organic products originating from benzoic acid are benzene and phenyl radicals, the eventual major reaction products being benzene and biphenyl. The reaction scheme was rationalized and quantified based on the application of stable isotope techniques in combination with theoretical reaction modelling, thus displaying the “hidden reaction paths”. The kinetics of the initial reactions are discussed.
