A Threshold Temperature in Radiation Chemical Cracking of Paraffin (in German)
Journal Article

· Naturwissenschaften (West Germany)
Irradiation cracking at room temperature causes no chain reaction. In the thermal cracking of paraffin, radical chains are formed, and the fission products cause chain propagation reactions. It would be expected that in the temperature range between irradiation cracking and thermal cracking a different cracking method, in which there would be exclusively radiation chemical initiation followed by radical chains, would arise. The electron irradiation of paraffin showed that the threshold temperature for the transition to this type of reaction was in the region of 300 deg C. Results were obtained for three dose rates.
