Abstract

Abstract The γ-radiolysis of hydrogen sulphide in the excess of xenon : as studied as a function of added HBr, N2O, CCl4 and SF6. Addition of HBr results in the considerable increase of H2 yield while addition of excess of N2O, CGl4 and SF6 reduces G(H 2 ) to almost zero. When N2O is present, the N2 yield also varies with the H2S/N2O ratio, being uninfluenced by the addition of small amounts of SF6 Consideration of possible ionic and nonionic reactions leads to the conclusion that hot hydrogen atoms play a major role in the formation both of hydrogen and nitrogen. The mechanism of electron attachment and ion recombination processes is proposed which is consistent with all the obtained data.
