Simulation of the formation and degradation of polycyclic aromatic compounds under the action of ionizing radiation

The effectiveness of the electron-beam removal of harmful impurities from gases was studied as applied to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. A kinetic model of the process was constructed for the formation and degradation of aromatic molecules under the action of ionizing radiation in high-temperature (T>400 K) and low-temperature (T≤350 K) regions. Conditions under which the concentrations of the test compounds were effectively decreased were found with the use of this model.
