Explain the two categories of partial oxidation reactions.

What will be an ideal response?


Partial oxidation reactions are large industrial processes, generally broken into two categories: thermal and catalytic. Catalytic reactions are done at lower temperatures (800ºC–900ºC) and thus require catalysts; thermal reactions occur at high temperatures (1,200ºC–1,500ºC) and are driven by the energy available from heat (do not require the help of catalysts).
