Effect of Added 1-hexene on the yield of hydrogen produced from Co-60 gamma radiolysis of methanol was investigated at room temperature. The results indicated that the yield of hydrogen decreased rapidly with increasing 1-hexene concentrations. Effect of added methyl borate on the radiolysis of methanol was also studied in the presence of oxygen. The results revealved that methyl borate acted as a less effective scavenger than oxygen towards the precursors of the radiolysis products. Experimental data previously obtained on the systems with oxygen added were treated more quantitatively to re-examine mechanism of the radiolysis of methanol in detail.
