Cocrystallization of Radioiodine Compounds from the Gas Phase

Radiochemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

The study of the behavior of 137Cs131I in the presence of MCl (M = NH4 +, K+, Ag+, and Cu+) in the water vapor-gas phase showed that CsI aerosols are localized in the MCl matrix owing to both agglomeration cocrystallization [137Cs131I-MCl systems (M = K+, Ag+, NH4 +)] and agglomeration capture [137Cs131I-CuCl system]. The main advantage of the first process is formation of crystalline globules encapsulating radioiodine in their bulk, which prevents transformation of radioiodine into elemental iodine and methyl iodide.
