Abstract
Radiation induced CO 2 conversion to CO and hydrocarbon has been studied using a solution suspended with iron powder and saturated with CO 2. Due to the corrosion enhanced by γ-rays, H 2 has become the most dominant product of all. Corresponding to the rapid H 2 formation, a little hydrocarbon containing less than 4 carbon atoms has been produced in the initial period of irradiation, whereas CO yield has gradually increased to a considerable amount over a prolonged irradiation period. The CO yield has also shown a marked increase associated with introducing Ni 2+ or Cu 2+ into the solution. It is understood that 5.6 hydrogen atoms are consumed in the termination reaction of H 2 formation.
