J. Perkowski et J. Mayer, OXYGEN EFFECT IN THE RADIOLYSIS OF TRITON X-100 AQUEOUS-SOLUTION, Journal of radioanalytical and nuclear chemistry, 188(3), 1994, pp. 211-217
Experiments with Triton X-100 as a model surfactant were performed und
er steady-state conditions, using deoxygenated solutions as well as th
ose saturated with N2O, O-2 or N2O/O-2 mixtures. The Tritan X-100 deco
mposition yield was dependent on the O-2 content of the irradiated sys
tem. Oxygen promoted surfactant decomposition In aqueous solution cont
aining only Triton X-100.
