Abstract: | The effects of absorbed doses, initial pH and 1-naphthol concentration onto its radiolysis in aqueous sulphuric and hydrochloric
acids by gamma rays from 60Co were investigated. Under the experimental conditions, 1-naphthol degradation yields increased with increasing the absorbed
doses (0.3–3.0 kGy) and with decreasing the initial 1-naphthol concentration (20–1 ppm). It was found out that the hydrated
electrons did not play any significant roles in 1-naphthol radiolysis, as the degradation yields were higher at pH0 ~ 0.46 compared to those at pH0 ~ 2.0–5.0. The corresponding radiolytic yields G(−1-naphthol) were (6.13 ± 1.00)) × 10−2 and (5.11 ± 0.22) × 10−2 μmol/J in sulphuric acids, (15.61 ± 3.85) × 10−2 and (4.76 ± 0.48) × 10−2 μmol/J in hydrochloric acids. 1-Naphthol degradation rates could be described by the kinetic equations of pseudo-first-order
reactions. An empirical relation between the observed reaction constants k
D and the initial 1-naphthol concentrations was established, enabling to predict the absorbed doses required for a given treatment
efficiency. Three products of 1-naphthol degradation were revealed using an HPLC/UV procedure. |
