Rates of ion neutralization have been measured in hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide, and nitrous oxide by collecting the ions remaining in a defined volume at various times after ionization by a pulse of 120 k.v.p. X-rays. Values of the total homogeneous ion-ion recombination coefficient, a, have been obtained for each gas over a range of pressures in the region 50 to 650 Torr. From a study of the effects of pressure and ion density, the relative rates of wall diffusion, mutual neutralization, and three-body neutralization have been deduced.

Hydrogen chloride and hydrogen bromide have been irradiated with single electron pulses at a very high intensity (1027 eV g−1 s−1) with a Febetron 705. At room temperature the yields of hydrogen from hydrogen chloride and hydrogen bromide, for pressures between 700 and 1200 Torr, are G(H2) = 8.1 ± 0.2 and G(H2) = 9.9 ± 0.3, respectively. These are the same as the yields observed at low dose rates. Detailed lifetime calculations, however, show that the mechanism is significantly different at the higher dose rate. Scavenger experiments with chlorine in hydrogen chloride show that the negative ion intermediates form thermal hydrogen atoms.The value of G(N2) = 12.4 ± 0.2 from nitrous oxide at a dose rate of 1027 eV g−1 s−1 is confirmed and the use of nitrous oxide as a dosimeter for pulsed electron beams is discussed. The higher nitrogen yield at Febetron dose rates appears to be due to changes in the reactions of electrons.

A study has been made of the decay of a hydrogen plasma of ion density ~3���1015 cm?3 and temperature ~104�K. Details are presented of the experimental methods used to determine density and temperature distributions in the decaying plasma. The plasma decays by three-body recombination mainly and the experimental values of the recombination coefficient agree with those expected for a plasma opaque to Lyman radiation.

Correction factors to measured values of the ion–ion recombination coefficient, which are required because of nonuniform ion density and diffusion losses, are calculated from computer solutions to the differential equation for simultaneous recombination and diffusion. Results for plane-parallel ion chambers are given as a function of ion age for an initially uniform ion distribution over a considerable range of ion density and electrode spacing, and for a collimated distribution for two particular combinations of ion density and electrode spacing. Corrections to be applied to some reported experimental ion–ion recombination coefficients are estimated.

Analysis of the terroristic attacks in Siria, Afghanistan and other countries has shown high probability of the hazardous chemicals application by the terroristic groups. In the article the most catastrophic accidents which were connected with hazardous chemicals are described.That is why research and developments in the sphere of protection from hazardous chemicals are still actual.This article is dedicated to the new screening method of the spilled hazardous chemicals surface on the example of protection of the factories with these substances. Methodology, experimental apparatus, protective fast-hardening foam features, names of hazardous chemicals are shown.Test were made for such chemicals as: acetic acid, acetone, ammonia, bromine, chlorbenzene, chloroform, hydrogen bromide, hydrogen chloride, hexane, hydrazine, diesel fuel, dichlorethane, kerosene, toluene, phenol, hydrogen fluoride. Fantastic results were achieved in terms of isolating capability of the fast-hardening foam against evaporations of the pointed substances.
