Description

A study was made on kinetics of processes of hydrogen formation during gamma radiolysis of water in adsorbed state on the surface of Al2O3, La2O3, Er2O3 and BeO samples. It was revealed, that the presence of oxides causes the increase of the process rate and the yield of hydrogen during the heterogeneous radiolysis of water. It was established that beryllium oxide posseses the greatest catalytic activity among oxides investigated. In the presence of beryllium oxide the total yield of hydrogen molecules per 100 eV of absorbed energy attaines 4.4. Taking into consideration the energy absorbed by adsorbed water the yield is 210
