Title: Decomposition of di-tert-butyl peroxide on the surface of KCl/SiO/sub 2/

A study was carried out on carbon deposition on the surface of 5% KCl/SiO/sub 2/ upon the decomposition of di-tert-butyl peroxide, (DTBP). The EPR spectra of the paramagnetic sites in the carbon deposit depend on the amount of peroxide decomposed. The EPR spectrum of the RO/sub 2/ radicals stabilized on KCl crystals was recorded. Carbonization of the surface as a result of the decomposition of DTBP is responsible for the chemical reactions, including the reactions of adsorbed RO/sub 2/ radicals, the formation of carbon deposits with strongly delocalized electrons in the conductance band, and the reaction of the radicals with localized paramagnetic sites, which should hinder the removal of the radicals from the surface into the gas phase.
