Abstract:
A kind of high-temperature-resistant adsorbent for radioiodine, AgNbO
3/Al
2O
3, was synthesized with the method of mechanical mixing. Compared with traditional silver adsorbent (Ag/Al
2O
3), AgNbO
3/Al
2O
3 adsorbent shows more stable performance at high temperatures. Particularly, the decontamination factor of this adsorbent is far more than that of traditional silver adsorbent at temperatures higher than 650 ℃. Characterization data show the structure of the adsorbent is stable, and it can endure longtime hightemperature calcination. Results of thermogravimetric analysis and iodine desorption indicate that the enhancement of stability of silver iodine on AgNbO
3/Al
2O
3 adsorbent is the reason why AgNbO
3/Al
2O
3 adsorbent has better performance at high temperatures. This adsorbent may be used in nuclear accident for emergency disposal.
