Radiolytic product distribution in self-irradiated and gamma irradiated solid state Ca14CO3: New data

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Both self-radiolysis and gamma irradiation induce transformations in solid Ca 14 CO 3 . Liquid chromatography followed by liquid scintillation counting was used to identify eight products after aqueous dissolution of the irradiated samples. The distributions of the radiolytic products depend on the gamma dose or the self-radiolysis time. Formic and oxalic acids are the principal products, both originating from the radical ion. Secondary reactions produce further compounds such as glycolic-, glyoxylic-, acetic- and malonic acids, formaldehyde and methanol.
