Mixtures of ethylene and oxygen dissolved in water under pressures ranging from 200 to 700 Ib./sq. in. were irradiated with Corn gamma rays at a dose rate of 180,000 r./hr. C values (molecules/100 ev.) for aldehyde production as high as 200 were observed. Increasing total pressure and dose were foun

A study was made of the radiolytic oxidation of cyclohexane in aqueous solution by using cobalt 60 gamma radiation. I n the presence of dissolved oxygen gas the reaction proceeds irreversibly with the formation of a number of oxidation products. Those identified were cyclohexanol, cyclohexanone, and
## Abstract When sucrose is heated with water in an autoclave at high temperature in an atmosphere of hydrogen, a degree of acidity is produced which is sufficient to cause first the inversion of the sucrose and secondly its conversion to 5βhydroxymcthyl 2βfurfural, a substance which is produced al
