The radiation chemical yields of gaseous products, especially molecular hydrogen (H2), have been determined in the radiolysis of different poly(4-vinylpyridine) quaternary salt ion exchange resins with up to about 30wt% of absorbed water. Irradiations were performed with 5MeV4He ions to simulate α-particle radiolysis and with γ-rays for comparison. The resins were quaternary salts of chloride and nitrate that are commonly used as matrixes in anion exchange and in plutonium recovery processes. An increase in H2yields with increasing water loading was observed for both types of ionizing radiation in all of the resins. The yield of H2for the nitrate-form was lower than that for the chloride and the yield of H2was lower when the pyridinium nitrogen atom is coordinated to a methyl group rather than to atomic hydrogen. Spectroscopic studies included UV/vis, IR, and Raman and suggested that all the resins exhibit a high radiolytic stability.
