Abstract
1. The action of radioactive catalysts on the dehydration of cyclohexanol was investigated; the catalysts used were MgSO4 with Na2SO4 containing S35 and MgSO4 with CaCl2 containing Ca45. 2. The increase of catalytic activity of the radioactive catalysts in comparison with the non-radioactive, which was discovered earlier by the same authors, was confirmed by a large number of facts. 3. The catalytic activity decreased in proportion to the loss of radioactivity of the catalyst as a consequence of the disintegration of the radioactive S35 and Ca45. 4. The bombardment of the surface of the non-radioactive catalyst with fast electrons (800 kev) did not give a noticeable effect, in contrast to the action of beta particles from S35 or Ca45 which were introduced into the composition of the catalyst.
