RADIATION EFFECTS ON p- AND n-TYPE CATALYSIS USED IN THE THERMAL DISSOCIATION OF ETHYL ALCOHOL
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4753585
The dissociation of anhydrous ethyl alcohol was studied over the temperature range 330 to 430 deg C with the employment of catalystg that were previously exposed to a range of estimated integrated'' neutron doses of up to 96.6 x 10/sup 18/ n/cm/sup 2/. The catalysts were ZnO, an n-type semiconductor, prepared by decomposition of the carbonate, and Cr/sub 2/O/sub 3/, a p-type semiconductor, prepared by dehydration of the hydroxide. Measurable changes in yield and decomposition mechanism were observed as compared with the unirradiated catalysts. The variation in the behavior of the catalysts was related to the various neutron doses received, and the results are discussed in the framework of the electronic theory of catalysis on semiconductors.
