Radiation application rates

Fluoropolymers utilizing high molecular weights and copolymerized and alloyed with polyethylene, should be used in most radiation applications. High-dose-rate E-beam processing may reduce oxidative degradation. When irradiated, PTFE and PFA are... 

The only disadvantage in synchrotron radiation applications is the apparent counting rate limitation due to the propagation delay in the line. But, a comparison of this propagation delay with charge collection times in other methods is still advantageous for the delay-line method. 

Trifluralin is a preemergence herbicide which must be incorporated into the soil because of its volatility (vapour pressure at 29.5°C is 1.99 10 mm Hg) and its sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation. At application rates of O.S-1.0 kg active ingredient/ha it can be used selectively against annual grass weeds and several broad-leaved weed species in cotton, potatoes, sunflower, soybean, tomato, many vegetables and orchards. Applied in a double dose in two consecutive years, it kills the rhizomes of Johnson grass (Worther, 1974). 

Given flow times of 20-40 s (DIN 4 cup), an application rate of 20-100 g/m is used. The drying time at room temperature is approx, six hours. After flash-off of the solvent (4-5 min at 50 C), the coating can be cured in approx. 10 min at 80 C in a circulating air oven, in 1 -2 min under IR radiation or at a rate of. for example. 3 m/min under UV radiation. Coatings applied in this way have outstanding properties such as good scratch resistance, adhesion and resistance to household chemicals. 

The fundamental and self-evident requirement is that the practical application of a decontamination process has to show a decontamination effectiveness sufficiently high for the specific purpose in general, this means that a decontamination factor greater than 10 should be achieved (in some cases, however, reduction of the radiation dose rates by a factor of more than 2 means an appreciable success). Consequently, the decontamination process to be applied has to be chosen to suit the nature of the contaminating matter to be removed. However, in different reactor plants and, moreover, in different regions of a plant the radioactive corrosion product oxides can be of a quite different nature. In systems which during plant... 

Due to the pulsed radiation output of the LINAC the detectors and the detector electronics have to handle very high counting rates in very short periods. Therefore the detectors have to work in a mode, where the detector output is integrated for one or several beam pulses. For that purpose the crystals are coupled to photo- diodes. Their currents are read out and analysed by the electronic board, which has been developed for this special application. 

The rate of heat transfer by radiation between two surfaces may be reduced by inserting a shield, so that radiation from surface 1 does not fall directly on surface 2, but instead is intercepted by the shield at a temperature Tsh (where 7, > T,h > T2) which then reradiates to surface 2. An important application of this principle is in a furnace where it is necessary to protect the walls from high-temperature radiation. 

Ton-molecule reactions are of great interest and importance in all areas of kinetics where ions are involved in the chemistry of the system. Astrophysics, aeronomy, plasmas, and radiation chemistry are examples of such systems in which ion chemistry plays a dominant role. Mass spectrometry provides the technique of choice for studying ion-neutral reactions, and the phenomena of ion-molecule reactions are of great intrinsic interest to mass spectrometry. However, equal emphasis is deservedly placed on measuring reaction rates for application to other systems. Furthermore, the energy dependence of ion-molecule reaction rates is of fundamental importance in assessing the validity of current theories of ion-molecule reaction rates. Both the practical problem of deducing rate parameters valid for other systems and the desire to provide input to theoretical studies of ion-molecule reactions have served as stimuli for the present work. 

The theory of radiation-induced grafting has received extensive treatment [21,131,132]. The typical steps involved in free-radical polymerization are also applicable to graft polymerization including initiation, propagation, and chain transfer [133]. However, the complicating role of diffusion prevents any simple correlation of individual rate constants to the overall reaction rates. Changes in temperamre, for example, increase the rate of monomer diffusion and monomer...
