Description
Summary:The authors report on the degradation of butylacetate and xylene diluted in air which are typical representatives of aliphatic and aromatic solvent constituents. Butylacetate and xylene were evaporated into an air flow of 1000 Nm super(3)/h at ambient temperature to give input concentrations close to 100 mg C/Nm super(3). The irradiation was performed at the AGATE-2 pilot plant with a 500 keV/30 mA accelerator in the dose range 0 - 10 kGy. Gas analyses were performed by FID, gas chromatography, FTIR and by wet sampling with ion chromatography. Particle concentrations were determined by isokinetic sampling. Elemental analysis of the particulate matter was used to complete the balance. The measured removal efficiencies increased with applied dose and reached 85% for xylene and 65% for butylacetate at 10 kGy.
