Gamma Radiolysis

The gamma radiolysis of carbon monoxide in the presence of the rare gases (Ar, Kr and Xe) has been studied with and without the application of an electric field. The results showed that energy transfer producing excited species is the important phenomen. Specifically, excited CO molecules will react with other CO molecules producing carbon dioxide and carbon suboxide polymer.

Explosive Combustion

The slow and the explosive combustion of carbon suboxide has been studied by the static method at pressures below 500 mm Hg and temperatures ranging from 560 to 680 °C. Reaction occurs in two distinct phases, [a] and [b], where [b] is inhibited by C3O2. The slow oxidation [a] is followed by[Formula: see text]oxidation [b] which is explosive at the lower pressures but slow above the upper pressure limit for CO–O2. Above another, higher pressure limit, the C3O2–O2 mixture explodes without delay. Water accelerates reaction a and lowers the pressure limits. Reaction a shows an over-all activation energy of 34 kcal/mol. We suggest that chain propagation takes place according to[Formula: see text]and that an energy chain leads to the branching reaction[Formula: see text]responsible for explosion.
