The Chemical Modifications of the Exchange Resins Under the Action of Ionizing Radiation; L'ACTION DES RADIATIONS IONISANTES SUR LES MACROMOLECULES SYNTHETIQUES POLYELECTROLYTIQUES

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4280206
The modifications in the chemical and physical properties of various exchange resins exposed to ionizing radiation were studied. The characteristics considered were the total exchange capacity. the index of acidity, degree of absorption, and solubility. The effect of chemicals, such as cysteamine. was also determined. The results showed that the macromolecules of the resins show direct and indirect effects of ionizing radiation. The chemical and reticular structure is modified. The indirect effect of radiation can be diminished by the presence of chemical substances with an affinity for the radiolytic radicals formed in the water. (J.S.R.)
