Ethene oxidation has been investigated experimentally and theoretically. The reaction was studied in a perfectly jet-stirred reactor, at atmospheric pressure, at temperatures in the range of 773-900 K, and at high equivalence ratio (between 3 and 10). The product composition was analyzed on gas chromatographs. The data obtained have been compared with the predictions of two existing detailed kinetic models. Both failed to predict the experimental trends. One of the kinetic models tested has been updated with newer kinetic constant evaluations and then give better agreements for all of the investigated conditions. Finally, rates of production and consumption analysis are used to interpret the results and showed the importance of oxygenated intermediates.
