Description

The browning of an anion-exchange resin when it is loaded with hydroxide ion or when it is irradiated was studied by diffuse reflectance and transmission spectroscopy in the wavelength range 900-300 nm. The hydroxide form of the resin showed a higher absorbance than the other ionic forms of the resin in the low wavelength region in both spectra. Irradiation of the resin resulted in an increase in absorbance in both spectra also in this wavelength region, depending on the dose. Temporary colour changes induced by low-temperature irradiation were also studied. (orig.)
