Abstract:Pure and aqueous m ethanol were used for radiation induced incorporation of CO at elevated pressure (up to 15 bar). The initial yields (G,) of the main products in pure methanol under 15 bar CO and 1 bar N 20 were found to be: G, (formaldehyde) = 3.80 and G;(glycolic aldehyde) = 2.0. For aqueous (10" 2 mol • d m -3 ) methanol under 15 bar CO (dose: 0.557 kGy, pH -2): the yields were G (formaldehyde) = 5.44, G (glycolic aldehyde) = 4.0 and G (oxalic acid) = 7.7. At pH = 7 the yields were essentially lower, name… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
