Summary
-
1.
The possibility of decomposing the vanadium-porphyrin complex by the action ofγ radiation on eastern petroleum or Bakinsk diesel fuel has been demonstrated.
-
2.
The extent of decomposition of the vanadium-porphyrin complex as a function of radiation dose has been established. The optimum dose of radiation for eastern petroleum is 108 to 109 rads; and for Bakinsk diesel fuel it is 104 rads.
-
3.
With increase in radiation dose the quantity of free radicals decreases.
-
4.
The quantity of unsaturated compounds in Bakinsk diesel fuel increased with an increase in radiation dose, but the fractional composition did not change significantly.
