Description

Using a gamma irradiation facility in which carbon dioxide coolant, containing carbon monoxide, methane, moisture and hydrogen impurities, was forced through the pore structure of graphite specimens, the effect of coolant composition on radiolytic graphite oxidation rates have been studied. A reaction mechanism, which relies on the competition between carbon monoxide and methane for the active species produced by gamma radiolysis of carbon dioxide, is proposed. This model is in agreement with previously published data and current views on the influence of pore structure. (author)
