Introduction
Raman Spectroscopy is a non-destructive chemical analysis technique which
provides detailed information about chemical structure, phase and polymorphy,
crystallinity and molecular interactions. This study focusing on how the reactions of
propane, C₃H₈ in various of pressure and temperature by using Raman spectroscopy
to provide information on molecular vibrations and also crystal structures itself. The
range of pressures from 3 to 22 GPa and temperatures from 900 to 3000 K. We want
to know propane could react, leading to these three formations of hydrocarbons which
are in both saturated and unsaturated as well as soot.
Result
The experiment demonstrate that various pressures and temperatures conditions
are relevant for wide range of depth within the Earth pure propane can transform into
different hydrocarbons, both saturated and unsaturated. Under these circumstances,
propane is reacting using two simultaneous and competing pathways. The first
pathway is the growing of the hydrocarbon chain via the condensation or
polymerization mechanisms and the second one is the destruction via the cleavage of
C-C and C-H bonds. The observations suggest that propane, if subducted into mantle,
undergoes complex transformations.
Discussion
The discussion will cover only the chemical transformations of pure propane at
the two highest pressures subjected which are at 17 GPa and 22 GPa. At 17 and 22
GPa, the Raman bands of hydrocarbons become less distinguished with the overlap of
the C-C bending area by graphite frequencies with the presence of unidentified C-H
vibrations of saturated hydrocarbons in the region of 3000 cm-1.
Conclusion
In summary, this study observed the transformations of the propane chemical
under the certain range of high pressures and temperatures by using Raman
Spectroscopy. Moreover, we have know that at the greater than 900 K temperatures,
propane looks to transform into the formation of complex hydrocarbon systems and
soot over the full range of pressures. Lastly, at the temperature of 1000 to 2000 K and
under pressures from 6 to 22 GPa, the results shown that the formation of heavier
alkanes from propane is possible without any presence of catalyst.
