Authors: Z. D. Draganić, V. Niketić, S. Jovanović, I. G. Draganić Oxygen-free aqueous solutions of NH4CN (0.1 M, pH 9) were exposed to gamma rays from a60Co source, the mixture of nonvolatile products was fractionated, and the fractions were analyzed. The procedures were chosen to make effective investigations of radiolytic products, and to minimize the contributions of chemical changes which…
Authors: I.G. Draganić, Z. D. Draganić, V. M. Marković Fast kinetic spectrophotometry was used to study the absorption spectra of short-living intermediates produced by reactions of RCN molecules with H, e aq- and OH. The spectra were obtained on the microsecond time scale after an electron pulse from a Febetron 707 accelerator in aqueous solutions of the following compounds: hydrocyanic…
Authors: I. A. Taub, L. M. Dorfman The radiation chemistry of deaerated aqueous ethanol and deaerated liquid ethanol has been studied by the pulse radiolysis technique. The same transient absorption spectrum, showing a broad weak absorption at about 290 mU and stronger narrow peaks at 266, 257 and 247 mU, has been observed in both systems. It is concluded that…
Authors: Lj. Josimović , I. Draganić The radiation chemical yields of stable products were measured in deaerated and oxygenated solutions at low absorbed doses(~<10 krad), different pH values(1-3 and 7.8) and various acetic acid concentrations(0’1-17mol dm-a). For a dilute solution(0″1mol dm-a) the results obtained support a simple reactions cheme.At larger acetic acid concentrations yields of stable products change proportionally to…
