Description

β-radiolysis in a methanol-T2O system in a gaseous state was studied by means of infrared spectroscopy over a period of 10 months. Slow formation of CH2TOH was found. The main product was CO, with small amounts of CH4, HCO2CH3, CH2 (OCH3)2 and (CH3)2O; ethylene glycol and H2CO were not found. This result, which is quite different from that of γ-radiolysis, is explained in terms of surface reactions on stainless steel. (orig.)
