Researchers identify new pathways in low-temp oxidation of hydrocarbons; important to fuel combustion, atmospheric chemistry and biochemistry

Green Car Congress

The new pathways lead to the conversion of KHPs [?-ketohydroperoxides] The new work shows that Korcek had the right concept, although some details differ from his predictions. The original discovery was the result of analyzing how engine oils break down through oxidation—part of an attempt to produce oils that would last longer.
