✦ Synopsis
Surface oxides form on graphite exposed to radiolysed CO, at 425 K by a process which is first order with respect to sites available for sorption. The oxide is formed radiolytically and is at least partially decomposed on heating the graphite to 775 K. Oxide formation appears to be an essential preliminary to gasification since negligible gasification takes place from an oxide free surface. A mechanism is proposed for the oxidation of graphite by radiolysed CO,.

The effect of CO on the y-radiation induced reaction between graphite and CO, has been investigated at 225-375°C. G(-C) values have been determined using a r4C-labelled PGA graphite specimen for a range of CO concentrations from 10 vpm to 1.3 per cent. The results agree with those of other workers i
