Abstract

Ion currents produced in hydrogen sulphide in a cylindrical ion chamber by γ-radiolysis have been measured. Saturation points on the ion current curves were located by application of general recombination theory. These saturation currents were then used to estimate that the average energy W(H2S) required to produce an ion pair in hydrogen sulphide is 25.3±0.4 eV. Other values determined were W(CH3SH)= 25.1±0.4 eV, W(N2O)= 32.7±0.4 eV and W(SF6)= 35.0±0.4 eV.
