Abstract
The paper deals with localization of 137Cs131I radioaerosols and products of their oxidative hydrolysis from the water vapor-air medium with various filtering elements: granulated sorbents based on silica gel and their combination with a helical filtering element (HFE) and TRUMEM metallic membrane filter (pore size ∼2.0 μm). The degree of localization of 137Cs131I aerosols was studied in relation to the air flow temperature, water vapor content, linear flow velocity in the sorption column, and amount of 137Cs131I aerosols delivered to the filtration system. Localization of 137Cs2MoO4 radioaerosols on the granulated sorbents was also studied.
