Detailed quantitative studies are reported on the kinetics of acetonitrile pyrolysis using an isothermal quartz tubular flow reactor at 720–1033 K and 1 atm. Pressure using flow rates, in nitrogen, of 2–200 ml min −1 . The pyrolysis of several other nitriles (acrylonitrile, propionitrile, methacrylonitrile and benzonitrile) has also been investigated qualitatively by pyrolysis‐gas chromatography.
