Radiolytic and Pyrolytic Decomposition of Ortho Terphenyl at High Temperature
- North American Aviation, Inc., Canoga Park, CA (United States). Atomics International Div.
The pyrolytic decomposition rates of ortho-terphenyl were determined at various temperatures between 750 and 900°F and the temperature dependence of the initial rates established. The formation rates for biphenyl in the pyrolysis of ortho-terphenyl were also determined. The radiolytic decomposition of ortho-terphenyl was studied in the same temperature range using 1.0 Mev electrons from a Van de Graaff generator. The temperature dependence of initial radiolytic decomposition rates was established. Comparisons were made between the pyrolytic and radiolytic behavior of ortho-terphenyl.
