Labile Species and Fast Processes in Liquid Alcohol Radiolysis

  • Conference paper
The Study of Fast Processes and Transient Species by Electron Pulse Radiolysis

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((ASIC,volume 86))

Abstract

The radiolysis of liquid ethanol is used to illustrate the types of labile species and fast processes that occur during the radiolysis of alcohols. Reactive solutes alter product yields. Kinetic analysis of product yields as functions of solute concentration, temperature and pressure illuminate the processes. The analysis involves known physical properties of the solvent, such as dielectric constant and dielectric relaxation times, and their temperature dependences. More detailed information about electron solvation and reaction rates has been obtained by various pulse techniques.
