Mixtures of ethylene and oxygen dissolved in water under pressures ranging from 200 to 700 lb./sq. in. were irradiated with Co 60 gamma rays at a dose rate of 180,000 r./hr. G values (molecules/100 ev.) for aldehyde production as high as 200 were observed. Increasing total pressure and dose were found to decrease these G values. Alcohol, acids, hydrogen peroxide, and organic peroxide are also products of the reaction; however, the yields are much smaller.
