Abstract
Silver-impregnated silica gels prepared by us have very good adsorption characteristics for both organic and inorganic radioiodine. Under the operating conditions applied, the adsorption capacity is up to 200 mg I g−1 and the utilization of silver on the sorbent is higher than 90%. The adsorbent can be used to remove iodine from nuclear fuel reprocessing off-gases and from air cleaning systems of nuclear reactors.
