Gamma-radiolysis of Triton X-100 aqueous solution

  • 1. Technical Univ., Lodz (Poland) Inst. of Applied Radiation Chemistry

Description

The decomposition of the non-ionic surfactant Triton X-100 in gamma-irradiated deaerated aqueous solution is mainly attributed to the attack of OH radicals and H atoms. The mechanisms of these reactions were investigated in detail, including the influence of pH and dose rate. The RCHOH radicals formed by OH attack on alcohol molecules can decompose the surfactant in aqueous solution. (author) 11 refs.; 7 figs.; 3 tabs
