Bamwenda, E. Moore, J. Wan] The feasibility of producing hydrocarbons in a microwave induced catalytic reaction of carbon and water was successfully demonstrated. The major reaction products are acetylene, methane, ethylene and ethane. Other significant products include propylene, propyne, cyclopropane, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Relative product yields and their distribution depend on a number of experimental variables, such as irradiation time, incident microwave power, water/carbon ratio and the characteristics of the microwave pulse train. At short irradiation times and low incident power only C1 — C2 products were observed, their rates of formation being an exponential function of the incident microwave power. High incident power led to the formation of C3 to C6 hydrocarbons at the expense of acetylene. Initial addition of methane and carbon dioxide to the reaction mixture increased the yield of acetylene, whereas addition of methanol to water resulted in a sharp increase in the amounts of both methane and acetylene. Mechanisms are considered to account for these observations. Springer, 1992 Bamwenda G. Department of Chemistry, Queen's University, K7L 3N6, Kingston, Canada aut Moore E.
