Abstract
The photolysis of C2H2F2Br2 mixed with oxygen is studied at T = 298 K for different times of irradiating the mixture using a mercury lamp having the maximum emission at λ = 253.7 nm. The absorption spectra are recorded in the range of wavelengths of 200 to 900 nm using Specord M-40 spectrophotometer. The kinetics of the photolysis are studied monitoring consumption of the initial halon and accumulation of molecular bromine. The absorption’s cross sections are estimated for C2H2F2Br2 halon in the range of wavelengths 230 to 258 nm. A mechanism of photolysis of C2H2F2Br2 mixed with oxygen is proposed. The cross section for the dissociation of C2H2F2Br2 is determined at the wavelength of 253.7 nm. The ratio of the reaction rate constant for the C2H2F2Br radical formed during the photolysis with molecular bromine to the reaction rate constant of the same radical with molecular oxygen is estimated.
