The paper describes the data obtained from the study of electron-beam radiolysis of gaseous propane in the presence of water under circulation conditions on pilot-scale facility with electron accelerator UEVK “Avrora-9B” (energy 0.5
MeV, maximum beam power 40
kW). It was obtained that irradiation leads to the formation of condensable alkanes and oxygen-containing organic compounds (predominantly alcohols and ethers). The dependencies of their content in the formed mixture on cooling conditions, dose, and gas flow rate were measured. The mechanism of the formation of the mentioned compounds was discussed.
