IRRADIATION OF WAX
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4232575
The irradiation of waxes to increase n-paraffin content and adjust the properties to desired values is described. In the example, a wax melting at 132/ 134 deg F and containing 0.14 wt.% ofl, 92.5 wt. % n-paraffins, 6.0 wt.% i- parrifins, and 1.5 wt.% naphthenes was irradiated. The irradiation, at 85 deg F, consisted of exposures of 1, 3, 8, and 168 hours to gamma and neutron irradiation. The data show drops in m.p. and viscosity after 1 hr, n-paraffin content drop after 1 hr, and a great increase in Br No. at 168 hrs. (T.R.H.)
