Abstract

The aqueous solutions of propane-oxygen mixtures under pressure, on irradiation with 60Co r-rays, yielded hydrogen peroxide, organic hydroperoxides, acetone, propionaldehyde, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, and hydrogen. The G values of these radiation products were determined under various irradiation conditions.The formation of the oxygen-contained compounds was interpreted in terms of reactions of both hydroperoxy and organic peroxy radicals.The formation of hydrogen suggested that the hydrogen atoms might be capable of abstracting hydrogenfrom propane in competition with addition to oxygen.
