INTRODUCI'ION 332 PRODUCl'ION OF BYDROGEN CYANIDE FROM METHANE I N A NITROGEN PLASMA JET I. Reactive Species Titration; -her Q,uantitative Studies Hark P. Freeman Central Research Division, American Cyanad Co., Stamford, Cmnecticut The reaction of nthane vith a nitrogen plasma to make hydrogen cyanide and acet- ylene is of considerable interest. Conversions are high enough t o be of commercial interest on the one hand,(l,2) vhile the formation of H a in particular proceeds in (1) (2) E. M. Hulburt and M. P. Freeman, Trans. N.Y. Acad.

The forrmlly identical synthesis of BCB from "active Ditrogon" aad methane has been extensively studied(~5) for 'mre than a half century. %at the mysteam are (3) K. R. Jenninge and J. Y.
