Samples of Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ catalyst were subjected to three types of radiation: (l) external irradiation of the catalyst and decyl alcohol with 760- kev electrons with a dose of about l0/sup 20/ ev/gram, (2) incorporatin of the beta-emitter Ce/sup 144/ into the catalyst (specific activity of ll.2 mc/g) and (3) irradiation of the Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ catalyst with slow neutrons at a flux of 0.8 x l0/sup 13/ cm./sup -2/ sec/sup -1/. The largest effect was observed on irradiating the catalyst and n-decyl alcohol vapors with fast electrons from an external source. The Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ samples treated with Ce/sub 144/ showed a slight increase in catalytic activity. There was a decrcase in catalytic activity with the neutron-irradiated Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ samples. However, the catalytic activity increased slightiy after a l0 day neutron irradiation. (TTT)
