Radiochemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

Irradiation with accelerated electrons of an extraction mixture of 30% TBP in Isopar-M isoparaffin diluent on the lower temperature limit of flame propagation (Тl) has been studied. It was found that, under irradiation up to a dose of 2 MGy, the value of Тl of the extraction mixture may decrease to 45°С, which should be taken into account when organizing the technological process. It was shown that, when an irradiated extraction mixture is bubbled with air, the value of Тl nearly reaches the Тl of the starting solution.
