- Abstract
The behavior of137Cs131I radioactive aerosols at sorption in a column packed with Bekipor WB metal felt from argon, air, and steam-gas flow was studied to assess the possibility of formation of CsI · CsOH and CsI3 in the course of CsI oxidative hydrolysis. The layer distribution of radionuclides in the column was analyzed as influenced by temperature (405-560 K), carrier gas humidity (up to 60 vol %), flow velocity (2-6 cm s1), and amount of cesium iodide sorbed on the felt (0.7-65.0 mg). It was found that the oxidative hydrolysis under certain conditions yields CsI · CsOH and CsI3 aerosols. Although under the experimental conditions studied the sorption of radionuclides on the metal felt is nearly quantitative (97-99%), escape of the radionuclides from the column upon prolonged passing of steam-gas mixtures cannot be excluded.
