Abstract

Ag/13X adsorbents were synthesized, characterized and tested for decontamination of gaseous effluents from 131I2 at high temperatures. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the Ag/13X samples maintained a stable structure after calcined at 650 °C for 2 h. The decontamination factors achieved with 15 % Ag/13X and 20 % Ag/13X adsorbents for 131I2 were nearly close to 103 at 650 °C. In addition, 15 % Ag/13X had a stable performance for removal of 131I2 at 550 and 650 °C, even after calcined at 550 and 650 °C for over 10 h, which might be suitable for future potential use during nuclear reactor operation or in the case of nuclear accidents.
