Abstract
The solid-phase decomposition of the iron formate crystal hydrate Fe(HCOO)2 · 2H2O under exposure to 60Co γ-rays or 3.5-MeV electrons was studied. It was found that the irradiation of this salt to absorbed doses of 0.1–2 MGy resulted in the radiolysis of water of crystallization and the HCOO– anion and in the reduction or oxidation of the Fe2+ cation. The composition of the solid-phase (γ-Fe, α-Fe, FeO, γ-Fe e-Fe2O3, Fe3O4, and FeCO3) and gaseous (H2O, CO, CO2, HCOOH, and CH4) radiolysis products of the substance was determined.
