Abstract

The radiolysis of aqueous solutions of oxalic acid has been studied. Data on the radiation-chemical transformations of the radiolysis liquid-phase products hydrogen peroxide, formaldehyde, glyoxylic acid, and hydrogen ions are presented. The significant effect of oxygen on the mechanism of radiolysis of oxalic acid, which in particular determines the nonmonotonic buildup of radiolysis products in the absorbed dose range of 0.5 to 2 kGy, has been confirmed.
