2. Soot precursor formation in hydrocarbon flames
To simplify the writing of the reaction mechanisms proposed in the following paragraphs, the dots indicating the formation and presence of radical species have been deliberately omitted. However, the reader should always bear in mind that it is indeed free radicals that are involved in the chemical reactions proposed throughout the text and in the figures.
For many years, flames composed of one and two carbons have been analyzed in order to understand their kinetics. As early as 1959, Fristrom et al.
