Radiolysis of CoIII-EDTA solution by charged particles through 6Li(n,a)3H reaction

This experiment was to study the radiolysis of CoIII-EDTA solution in 0.8N H2SO4 saturated with air by charged particles produced through 6Li(n,a)3H reaction. The experimental results show that the G(-CoIII-EDTA) decreases as the absorbed dose rate increases. For the same absorbed dose rate, the values of G(-CoIII-EDTA) are practically independent of absorbed dose. The effects of concentration and temperature are also studied.
