Title: STUDIES OF THE RADIATION CHEMISTRY OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS. THE RADIOLYSIS OF METHANOL AND METHANOLIC SOLUTIONS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4061556

>Installation, equipping, and dosimetry of an 850-curie Schwarz-Allen type Co/sup 60/ source were completed. Dose rates are tabulated for six positions in the source. The dissolution of boron from pyrex by methanol was studied using the curcumin procedure. The results indicated <7 x 10/sup -6/M of boron in the methanol independent of irradiations. The gamma radiolysis of methanol resulted in G-values of: 4.66 plus or minus 0.07, H/sub 2/; 0.27 plus or minus 0.03, CH/sub 4/; 1.94 plus or minus 0.06, CH/sub 2/O; and 2.86 plus or minus 0.05, C/sub 2/H/sub 6/O/sub 2/. An improvement in the trapping of methanol resulted in the reduction of the apparent yield of H/sub 2/ to 3.9. (B.O.G.)
