A thermodynamic problem between pyrrole and water was calculated to investigate the possibility of this reaction. Based on the thermodynamic analysis, simulation experiments on the pyrrole-water system were carried out at 400-500 degrees C. Properties of the reaction products were characterized by gas-chromatography and Fourier transform-infrared spectrometry methods. Apparent reaction kinetics between pyrrole and water were tentatively discussed. The results show that thermochemically the organic-inorganic interaction between pyrrole and water possibly occurs above 100 degrees C, and proceeds spontaneously above 300 degrees C to produce furan and ammonia as the main products. The calculated apparent activation energy for the reaction is 146.91 kJ/mol.
