Degradation of the insecticide parathion in methanol by gamma-irradiation

The gamma-radiation from⁶⁰Co was used to induce parathion degradation in methanol solution, and the resulting products were quantified by GC-NPD and identified by GC-MS. The insecticide was completely degraded (99%) in methanol after treatment with 30 kGy doses at a dose rate of 3.12 kGy h⁻¹. The metabolites detected after radiolysis were p-aminophenol, paraoxon and aminoparathion, but no p-nitrophenol. The parathion radiation yield (G-parathion) in methanol solution was also calculated.     

Hydrogen yield from water radiolysis in the presence of zeolites

This paper reports a study of the decomposition of water by gamma radiolysis in the presence of zeolites ZSM-5, SAPO-5, and MOR. The irradiation is performed using ⁶⁰Co as a source with 1.12×10¹⁵ Bq activity at a 8.3 kGy/h dose rate. The stable products of radiolysis as well as the other chemical species are measured by mass spectrometry. The calculated radiation yield (G_{H 2}) generally decreases in the order: H-ZSM-5>Na-ZSM-5>H-SAPO-5>MOR under the given experimental conditions; the yield is higher in the presence of these catalysts than in their absence.     

Alpha and gamma radiolysis of nuclear solvent extraction ligands used for An(III) and Ln(III) separations

The separation of the minor actinides from dissolved nuclear fuel remains a major challenge in developing large-scale waste separations processes. One important criterion is that all these processes must be robust under high acidity and radiation dose conditions. Here we have investigated the TRUEX ligand CMPO in dodecane, comparing the effects of gamma (⁶⁰Co) with alpha irradiation using isotopic alpha sources (²⁴⁴Cm, ²¹¹At). The radiolytically-based CMPO decomposition efficiencies are approximately the same for both types of radiolysis, with the overall decomposition being significantly less when this formulation is irradiated in contact with aqueous acid.     

Effect of gamma radiation on folic acid and its cobalt complex solutions

Gamma-radiolysis of folic acid and its cobalt complex were studied in aqueous solutions at doses ranged from 2 to 10 krad and from 2 to 10 Mrad using⁶⁰Co source. The variations in their spectra of IR, UV, and visible due to their radiolysis were shown. Also the change in pH after radiolysis was determined. The results showed that decomposition of folic acid by gamma-radiation occurred without variation of pH. Fine measurements of pH for irradiated CoCl₂ and cobalt-folic acid complex solutions can be utilized for dose determination in the studied range of 2–10 Mrad. IR spectra showed that addition of cobalt chloride to folic acid decreased its decomposition by gamma-radiation. This result proved the importance of addition of cobalt chloride in keeping foodstuffs, which contain folic acid, by irradiation. The mechanism for the effect of radiation on cobalt chloride and cobalt-folic acid complex was discussed.     

Radiolysis of L- and D-Monosaccharides

The effects of ⁶⁰Co -radiation on D-glucose, L-glucose, D-galactose, L-galactose, D-mannose, and L-mannose were studied. The yields of gaseous radiolysis products were determined. The curves of radical buildup and decay in crystalline samples were obtained. Conclusions on the relative radiation stability of these D- and L-monosaccharides to the action of nonpolarized radiation were drawn.     

Radiation resistance of chitin and chitosan applied in the chromatography of radioactive solutions

Chitin and chitosan were irradiated in acidic solutions containing a decontaminating soap. It has been shown that these powders suspended in aqueous media do not undergo radiolysis, as their I.R. spectra are not altered, and there is no radiolysis product in the solution, except for the case of nitric acid at lowpH where some chitosan is present in dissolved form. These polymers therefore exhibit very good radiation resistance, in spite of the fact that the monomers undergo very rapid radiolysis.⁶⁰Co radiations up to 50 000 krad were used. Under these conditions, chitosan does not lose its collection capacity for most of the metal ions of interest in the nuclear field, including cobalt, that can be collected from decontaminating soap solutions with a volume reduction of 10.     

Degradation of 4-chlorophenol in aqueous solution by γ-radiation and ozone oxidation

The degradation of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) by using gamma rays generated by a ⁶⁰Co source in the presence of O₃ was investigated. The radiolysis of 4-CP and the kinetics of 4-CP mineralization were analyzed based on the determination of total organic carbon (TOC). The influence of initial 4-CP concentration and the free radicals scavengers (such as NaHCO₃ and t-butanol) on the 4-CP degradation was also studied. The results showed that when the radiation rate was 336 Gy·min⁻¹, 4-chlorophenol at concentration of 10 mg·L⁻¹ could be completely degraded at the radiation dose of 2 kGy. The degradation of 4-chlorophenol could be described by a first-order reaction model, the rate constant of 4-CP degradation by combined ozonation and radiation was 0.1016 min⁻¹, which was 2.4 times higher than the sum of radiation (0.0294 min⁻¹) and ozonation (0.0137 min⁻¹). It revealed that the combination of radiation and ozonation resulted in synergistic effect, which can remarkably increase the degradation efficiency of 4-CP.     

Radiolysis of iodotyrosines in aqueous-ethanol solutions

⁶⁰Co-gamma radiolysis of 3-iodotyrosine and 3,5-diiodotyrosine in aqueous-ethanol solutions has shown that the chemical effects are mainly determined by the interaction of radicals from the radiolysis of solvent and controlled by the composition of the solution. The influence of varying solvent composition and radiation dose on the amount of iodoamino acid converted and on the yields of the radiolysis products (I₂, I^–, IO ₃ ^– and H₂O₂) formed in aerated solutions at room termperature were investigated. The formation of I₂ is dependent upon the acidity of the solution and is mainly produced as an after-effect due to the interaction of H₂O₂ with I^– ions, both being radiolysis products. The variation of radiation-chemical yields with the solute and solvent composition, and the probable mechanisms for formation of the radiolysis products are discussed.     

Short aspect ratio gold nanorods prepared using gamma radiation in the presence of cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as a directing agent

The synthesis of short aspect ratio gold nanorods using gamma radiation method by incorporating cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as a directing agent is reported in this communication. The radiolysis of Au⁺, in the presence of 2.5 nm Au seeds and 0.1 mol dm^?3 isopropanol, results in the formation of Au spheres as evident from surface plasmon resonance band at 527 nm. However, by carrying out radiolysis at lower radiation dose rate, short aspect gold nanorods having surface plasmon bands at 513 and 670 nm have been prepared. The formation of rods at low radiation dose rate was observed to be governed by the kinetics of particle growth. The TEM of as-synthesized nanoparticles confirmed the formation of uniform sized nanorods having an aspect of 2.4.     

Solid state radiolysis of sulphur-containing amino acids: cysteine,cystine and methionine

The sulphur-containing proteinaceous amino acids l-cysteine, l-cystine and l-methionine were irradiated in the solid state to a dose of 3.2 MGy. This dose corresponds to that delivered by radionuclide decay in a timescale of 1.05 × 10⁹ years to the organic matter buried at a depth >20 m in comets and asteroids. The purity of the sulphur-containing amino acids was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) before and after the solid state radiolysis and the preservation of the chirality after the radiolysis was studied by chirooptical methods (optical rotatory dispersion, ORD) and by FT-IR spectroscopy. Although the high radiation dose of 3.2 MGy delivered, all the amino acids studied show a high radiation resistance. The best radiation resistance was offered by l-cysteine. The radiolysis of l-cysteine leads to the formation of l-cystine. The radiation resistance of l-methionine is not at the level of l-cysteine but also l-methionine is able to survive the dose of 3.2 MGy. Furthermore in all cases examined the preservation of chirality after radiolysis was clearly observed by the ORD spectroscopy although a certain level of radioracemization was measured in all cases. The radioracemization is minimal in the case of l-cysteine and is more pronounced in the case of l-methionine. In conclusion, the study shows that the sulphur-containing amino acids can survive for 1.05 × 10⁹ years and, after extrapolation of the data, even to the age of the Solar System i.e. to 4.6 × 10⁹ years.
