Electron-beam radiolysis of gaseous alkanes under circulation conditions: Gas-to-liquid transformation

Control factors and by-products during decomposition of butane in electron beam irradiation

“…However, the amount of ozone produced by the electron beam can be mitigated, using catalysts according to studies done by Kim et al (2004) and Jeon et al (2008). Miyazaki et al (1964) irradiated pure n-butane in the gas phase with g-ray, according to the following mechanism: nÀC 4 H 10 $ -C 4 H þ 10 -C 3 H þ 7 þCH 3 r C 2 H þ 5 þ C 2 H 5 C 3 H þ 7 þ nÀC 4 H 10 -C 3 H 8 þ C 4 H þ 9 C 4 H þ 9 þ e-C 4 H 8 ,Products C 2 H þ 5 þ C 4 H 10 -C 2 H 6 þ C 4 H þ 9 Similar mechanisms can be found in studies conducted by Ponomarev et al (2007) and Ponomarev (2009). However, studies by Miyazaki et al (1964) and Ponomarev et al (2007) were performed without the presence of air (O 2 , N 2 ).…”

Radiation-Induced High-Temperature Conversion of Cellulose

“…Comprehensive studies show that hydrogenation and/or alkylation of organic vapours obtained in electron-beam distillation of cellulose-containing biomass give stable mixtures, which can be used as fuels (engine, diesel, rocket or boiler fuel) [93,94].…”

Electron-beam decomposition of phytogenous substances: Solid-to-liquid conversion

“…At last, radiolysis of the gas results in enrichment of condensates by valuable fuel componentsbranched alkanes (Ponomarev, 2009). The intermediates formed from carrier gas react preferentially with unsaturated vapours as scavengers, and hence, the utilization yield of gas also increases due to prevention of its regeneration.…”
