Bump
I've been doing some light chemistry research this morning and may have found an issue with the original study. The very low flow of fresh air into the chamber may effect the reaction in a manner not yet identified in this thread. We have talked about cooling it may provide, but we did not include the effect of oxygen concentration for the production of aldehydes.
What I'm finding, the temperature needed to produce aldehydes will instead produce water and co2 if the oxygen concentration is high enough. The coil can be hot enough to produce aldehydes, but if there is oxygen in the atmosphere surrounding the coil you will get water and co2 absent aldehydes.
An Interesting Angle to all this.
Can you post some Exploratory reading?
