Abstract: Kinetic parameters of a number of possible elementary reactions involved in the thermal hydrogenolysis of toluene are evaluated based on the bulk of kinetic and thermodynamic informations. More important elementary reactions are thus selected resulting in the following formulation to describe main scheme of the hydrogenolysis: C6H5•CH3_??_C6H5•CH2+H, H+C6H5•CH3_??_H2+C6H5•CH2, H+C6H5•CH3→C6H6+CH3, CH3+H2→CH4+H, and CH3+C6H5•CH3_??_CH4+C6H5•CH2. The proposed mechanism is shown to be in conformity with hitherto observed kinetic behaviors of the reaction.
