Investigation of Radiation-Heterogeneous and Catalytic Processes In The Surface Of (RaO)x(SiO2)y +H2O System

Abstract

In the study, heterogeneous radiolysis of water in adsorption and liquid form was studied in the (RaO)x(SiO2)y+H2O system. The effect of radioactivity of radium cations and process temperature on the release of molecular hydrogen was determined (T=300‒673K). The mechanism of heterogeneous radiolysis of water with the participation of the studied system (RaO)x(SiO2)y+H2O has been proposed.
