Decomposition of oxalic acid by gamma-ray irradiation

  • 1. Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, Daejeon (Korea, Republic of)

Description

Oxalic acid was usually used for decontamination of water-cooled reactors such as pressurized power reactor and boiled water reactor. To remove chemical agents, advanced oxidation processes by radicals were used. This study focused on radiolytic decomposition of oxalic acid by gamma irradiation. Oxalic acid was successfully degraded by gamma irradiation. 92% removal was obtained at initial concentration of 10 mM. Dose constant ranged from 0.1695 to 0.0536 kGy-1 at different initial concentrations. G-value was inversely proportional to dose constant
