Abstract
IT is well known that the activity of a solid catalyst may be affected by ionizing radiations, and the effects of nuclear radiations on heterogeneous catalysts have been investigated by various workers1,2. Recent work has shown the changes, due to irradiation, which are produced in the catalytic behaviour of some oxides3. These effects are due to the fact that catalytic activity is strongly dependent on the structure and energy condition of the material, and this structure may be modified under irradiation4.
