Abstract

Elemental sulfur undergoes oxidation to sulfate when heterogeneous mixtures of sulfur and water absorb ionizing radiation in deaerated systems. No sulfur-containing product other than sulfuric acid is formed in measurable yield. The reaction is initiated by OH radicals from water, and these are evidently involved in subsequent steps as well. A possible mechanism is suggested for the reaction.
