Abstract

The efficiency of separate trapping of cesium oxide and molecular iodine formed during oxidative thermolysis of cesium iodide in the process of chemisorption on ceramic highly porous block-cellular contact elements is investigated. The dynamic sorption capacity of contact elements with an applied aluminosilicate sorption-active layer and with an active layer of silver nitrate for cesium and iodine, respectively, is determined. The developed contact elements are recommended for use in systems of local gas purification of high-temperature processing stages of recycling of spent nuclear fuel.
