83In general, these experiments show the importance of the pretreatment of the CaA zeolites for the adsorption of CO. Moreover, one must be very careful in comparing CO adsorption results, because the quantity adsorbed depends largely on the pretreatment conditions of the CaA zeolite. Small changes in pretreatment can result in large adsorption J. A. Michelena acknowledges a grant from the EEC differences. Therefore, we suggest that for adsorption (European Economic Community). E. F. Vansant thanks measurements on CaA zeolites, always fresh CaA zeolite samples, dehydrated at identical temperatures for the same period of time, should be used. Abstract. ESR-spectra of hydrazyl and aminonaphthoxy radicals formed upon photoreduction of azo dyes have been measured. For the hydrazyl radicals the results obtained further confirm previous investigations of the mechanism of photoreduction of azo dyes. The direct identification in photoreduced dye solutions of aminonaphthoxy radicals, which are formed in the oxidation reduction equilibrium of aminonaphthols and iminoquinones provides strong evidence for previously proposed mechanisms for the disproportionation of hydrazyl radicals
