Radiolysis of chloroalkanes (from chloropropanes to chlorodecane) has
been investigated. Hydrogen and hydrogen chloride are the main
products of decomposition. Their concentrations linearly grow with the
dose in the examined interval up to 150 kGy. The radiation-chemical
yield of hydrogen increases from 0.72 for 1-chloropropane to 1.3 for 1-
chlorodecane. The opposite trend is observed in the case of HC1: 3.7
for 1-chloropropane and 1.7 for 1-chlorodecane. Products of
dechlorination, chlorination (di-and trichloroalkanes) with G 0.8–4.0,
isomerization with G up to 90, as well as oligomerization products,
have been identified in the liquid products.
