Abstract

The photochemical transformation of carbon monoxide in aqueous ammonia solution has been investigated at 25${\pm}$0.1$^{\circ}C$ using 184.9 nm UV light. Amination and carbonylation processes were carried out by irradiating the aqueous ammonia solution saturated with carbon monoxide, and the formation of formamide, urea, hexamethylenetetramine, formaldehyde, glyoxal and hydrazine was observed. The formation of hydrazine was affected by the presence of ammonia, and the formation of carbonyl compounds such as formaldehyde and glyoxal was influenced by the presence of carbon monoxide. The formation of formamide, urea and hexamethylenetetramine was affected by both ammonia and carbon monoxide. The initial quantum yields of the products were determined and probable mechanisms for the photochemical reaction were presented on the basis of product analysis.
