The gamma-ray induced chemisorption of oxygen on perovskite type catalysts: Determination by reduction with hydrazine sulphate/hydroxylamine hydrochloride

Chemisorbed oxygen can be determined quantitatively by the measurement of gaseous N2/N2O liberated by treatment with hydrazine sulphate/hydroxylamine hydrochloride. The amount of chemisorbed oxygen depends on the degree of dispersion during irradiation and also the γ-dose. The chemisorption is enhanced in the presence of moisture. The partial reduction of the transition metal ion favours the formation of chemisorbed oxygen. © 1986 Akadémiai Kiadó.
