Effects of gamma radiation on iron (III)‎ complex with sodium salicylate in aqueous solutions

Abstract EN

The radiation induced color bleaching of aqueous solutions of iron- salicylate complex has been studied.

The structure of the iron- salicylate complex has been studied.

It was found that the molar ratio of the formed complex determined was 1: 1.5.

The color bleaching of the complex solutions upon irradiation was followed spectrophotometrically and the % color bleaching was calculated and plotted against the applied gamma irradiation doses.

The obtained relationships consisted of two linear sections; the first was between 0−2 kGy while the second section extends between 2−6 kGy.

These relationships were used as calibration curves to determine the unknown irradiation dose.
