Abstract
The reaction of OH radicals with CH4 has been investigated over the temperature range 290‐440°K in a flow system with UV resonance fluorescence detection of OH. Its rate constant can be represented in Arrhenius form as k1 = 3.83 × 10−12 exp(−3660(cal/mole)/RT) cm³ sec−1. This result is compared with the results of other experimenters and is used to calculate stratospheric destruction rates of methane.Keywords
