Abstract

A radiation dechlorination of PCE and TCE initiated by both γ and EB irradiation in aqueous solutions was studied. A promoted effect of ozone was observed in this process. The dependences of degree of dechlorination and radiation yield on the dose and on the initial concentration of the organics as well as of the dose constant on the initial concentration were investigated. A comparison of influence of γ and EB irradiations was performed, too.
