Description
Investigations were performed on the ageing of five activated carbons in the containment exhaust air of a German pressurized water reactor to find out whether longer stay times can be obtained with activated carbons other than that usually employed (207B (KI)) in the Federal Republic of Germany. The ageing with respect to the retention of methyl iodide (CH3131I) was smaller with activated carbons impregnated with KIx only than with those impregnated additionally or exclusively with a tertiary amine (e.g. TEDA). It is concluded that, for the exhaust air examined, presently no longer stay times can be obtained with activated carbons other than 207B (KI). (author). 31 refs, 4 figs, 3 tabs
