Abstract
Propane gas has been irradiated with cobalt‐60 gamma rays. The primary products formed by the decomposition of 0.9–3.2% of the original propane have been identified. Based on hydrogen yield, the relative yields of the products are: hydrogen (1.00), hexanes (0.70), ethane (0.32), methane (0.27), butanes (0.17), and pentanes (0.08).Keywords
