Description

The performance of Cu metal as an adsorbent for volatile radioiodine compounds, I2*, HI* and CH3I* has been examined. Both I2* and HI* are effectively trapped. However, for the complete trapping of organic iodide, a process converting it into ionorganic form must precede the trapping process. The iodine, trapped in the reduced Cu, is easily released as HI* by a stream of H2 gas above 4000C. Compared to other conventional procedures, this trapping procedure has the advantage that Cu is regenerated during the recovery process to be used again. (author)
