RADIOLYSIS OF PROPANE AT LOW CONVERSION.
Abstract
Low conversion studies of the radiolysis of propane were performed by the use of a technique which was developed to satisfy the stringent requirements of purity and trace analysis capability. The calculated G value for ethane in the low conversion region was 1.95. All other product yields were determined relative to this value. Significant increases in yields for propylene and ethylene were observed as the degree of conversion was decreased from 2.6 to 0.0045 per cent. These increases were attributed to the absence of internal scavenging reactions involving hydrogen atom attack on these products. A decrease in the yield of 2,3 dimethylbutane was accompanied by an increase in the yields of methane and ethane as the conversion was increased from 0.05 to 1.00 per cent. It was concluded that the initial yields for the radiolysis products were represented by the product yields at the lowest degree of conversion. (Author)
