2 results about "Radiolysis" patented technology

Radiolysis is the dissociation of molecules by ionizing radiation. It is the cleavage of one or several chemical bonds resulting from exposure to high-energy flux. The radiation in this context is associated with ionizing radiation; radiolysis is therefore distinguished from, for example, photolysis of the Cl₂ molecule into two Cl-radicals, where (ultraviolet or visible) light is used.
