Luminescent studies of bisphenol A solutions under the action of the electron beam
Abstract:
The results of measuring the luminescence of ambient air and solutions of an organic compound during their irradiation with a high-current pulsed electron beam with an average energy of $E_e$ = 170 keV and a duration of 2 ns, generated by the RADAN-303 accelerator, are presented. It is shown that, under such exposure, the transformation of dissolved bisphenol A occurs, which is accompanied by an increase in the absorption coefficient of the solution in the wavelength range of more than 300 nm and, as a consequence, a decrease in the intensity of air luminescence bands with an increase in the number of irradiation pulses. The results showed the degradation of the BPA solution to complete decomposition under the action of an electron beam treatment.
