In order to investigate the possibility of urea peroxide formation in ɤ-irradiated urea aqueous solutions (UAS), energy-dispersive x-ray (EDS), mass (MS), 1H-NMR, and Raman spectral studies were conducted on UAS and its solid residues (SR) that remain after water evaporation. Spectroscopic data of SR for both irradiated and unirradiated samples were analyzed and compared. EDS data showed an increase in the oxygen content in SR of UAS upon radiolysis. Comparison of mass spectrum of RS of irradiated sample and that of urea shows a significant increase in m/z 16 peak intensity of O + as well as m/z 61of M+1in the former. The 1H-NMR spectrum of SR of an irradiated sample shows a signal down field shift of urea protons, as well as the appearance of new signals, which were assigned to H 2 O 2. The Raman spectral study of both RS and UAS evinces differences in all band positions and intensities for irradiated samples relative to their corresponding unirradiated samples. As a consequence of this study, it seems that the possibility of urea peroxide formation in ɤ-irradiated UAS cannot be ruled out.
