Abstract

Transformations of acetylene during mechanical activation in the presence of quartz were investigated. The destruction of quartz is accompanied by the formation of radicals on the surface; they initiate gas-phase transformations of acetylene. It was demonstrated that, in addition to acetylene destruction proceeding with the formation of hydrogen, methane and ethane, acetylene polymerization with the formation of benzene takes place. It was established that the yield of the products of chemical transformations of acetylene depends on the time of mechanical action.
