Description

Under the treatment with high energy radiation, plant cellulose materials undergo a series of changes in chemical and physical properties. This paper describes the chemical changes of water-soluble carbohydrate, easy-to-hydrolyse carbohydrate, hard-to-hydrolyse carbohydrate, amino acid and protein in rice straw after irradiation with 60Co γ-ray. The content of water-soluble carbohydrate in rice straw can be increased significantly by such treatment. The combination treatment of irradiation and acid or alkali soaker can reduce the dose for the radiolytic cracking decomposition and produce a good effect
