The effect of ionizing radiation on the catalytic dehydration of N-dodecyl alcohol

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Division of chemical science Aims and scope

Summary

  1. 1.

    Study has been made of the application of radioactive catalysts in the dehydration of n-dodecyl alcohol on aluminum oxide and on phosphated aluminum oxide.

  2. 2.

    The catalytic activity of phosphated aluminum oxide is reduced by short term irradiation (2 days) in the nuclear reactor but is increased considerably by long term radiation (30 days).

  3. 3.

    Introduction of Ce144 into the aluminum oxide increases the rate of dehydration of n-dodecyl alcohol and the rate of isomerization of α-isomer. Addition of Ce144 to the phosphated aluminum oxide increases the yield of unsaturated hydrocarbons without altering the isomerization of the reaction products.

  4. 4.

    The rates of dehydration and isomerization are increased by irradiating the aluminum oxide and alcohol vapors with high-speed electrons during reaction.

  5. 5.

    It is recommended that Cs137 be used as radioactive additive for increasing the yield of α-dodecylene and reducing the reaction temperatures.
