Abstract: essentially agrees with previous work [1][2][3][4][5][6] 3 on S03 formation in flames, which showed the importance of atomic oxygen in the reaction.The authors observed that when air was added downstream from flames, S03 formation still took place, a phenomenon also reported by Glaubitz [7], but they were uncertain as to why this happened.I would therefore offer the following explanation [2] for their consideration.It is known [8] that carbon monoxide flames tend to produce more oxygen atoms than hydrocarbon flames, and therefore the formation of S03 in them is enhanced.It is possible that this is due to activated C02* molecules losing their energy by colliding with oxygen molecules to produce oxygen atoms, as follows:
