Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of radioactive waste treatment technology. More specifically, this invention relates to a method for preparing bismuth silicate adsorbent material and its application in methyl iodine adsorption. Background Technology
[0002] Nuclear power plant operation and spent fuel reprocessing generate significant amounts of radioactive waste gas. Besides molecular iodine, nitric acid vapor, NO2, and N2O5, another radioactive gas (methyl iodine, CH3I) is produced. Due to its extremely long half-life, high environmental mobility, and biotoxicity, it has received widespread attention in nuclear emergency response and radioactive waste gas management. Therefore, how to economically and effectively treat radioactive CH3I gas is crucial for the environment and human health, as well as the future development and safe production of nuclear energy. However, due to the weak intermolecular forces, effectively capturing radioactive CH3I is extremely challenging.
[0003] Compared to research on radioactive molecular iodine (I2), research on the treatment of radioactive organic iodine (CH3I) is relatively limited. Solid-phase adsorption is considered one of the effective methods for treating gaseous iodine. Currently available adsorbents, including impregnated activated carbon, Ag ion-exchange zeolites, silver-containing alumina, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and covalent organic frameworks (COFs), mostly suffer from low adsorption capacity, high cost, and a tendency to cause secondary pollution. Therefore, developing novel iodine adsorbents with low cost, high adsorption capacity, and stable adsorption products is of great significance for the treatment of radioactive iodine gas and the healthy development of nuclear energy.

[0050] Methyl iodine adsorption experiment:
[0051] (1) Measure 0.6 mL of CH3I and place it in a 100 mL hydrothermal reactor;
[0052] (2) Place Bi2O2SiO3 (mass m0, g) in a crucible and put it into a hydrothermal reactor containing CH3I;
[0053] (3) The hydrothermal reactor was placed in an oven and kept at different temperatures (150℃, 200℃) for different times (16h, 6h) to test the methyl iodine adsorption performance of Bi2O2SiO3;
[0054] (4) The adsorption amount is determined by weighing method, by weighing the mass m of the material after adsorption. t The adsorption capacity Q (mg / g) is calculated using the following formula:

[0056] Figure 1 The image shows the XRD pattern of the bismuth silicate adsorbent material prepared in Example 1 of this invention. The characteristic XRD diffraction peaks in the pattern are Bi2O2SiO3 phase, indicating the successful preparation of Bi2O2SiO3.
[0057] Figure 2 The image shows the XRD pattern of the bismuth silicate adsorbent material prepared in Example 1 of this invention after adsorbing methyl iodine. It can be seen that the characteristic peaks of pure Bi₂O₂SiO₃ disappear after adsorbing methyl iodine, completely transforming into the characteristic peaks of BiI₃. This indicates that the Bi₂O₂SiO₃ material underwent a chemical reaction with methyl iodine, demonstrating that the adsorption mechanism of this invention is the chemical reaction between Bi₂O₂SiO₃ and CH₃I to generate stable BiI₃.
[0058] The methyl iodine adsorption performance of the bismuth silicate adsorbent material prepared in Example 1 of this invention is shown in Table 1. It can be seen that the Bi₂O₂SiO₃ of this invention exhibits a methyl iodine adsorption capacity of 1350 mg / g at 150℃ with an equilibrium time of 16 h; and an adsorption capacity of 1370 mg / g at 200℃ with an equilibrium time of 6 h. The results indicate that a higher adsorption temperature helps to improve the adsorption rate of methyl iodine by this material. Table 2 lists the methyl iodine adsorption performance of some existing adsorbent materials. It can be seen that the methyl iodine adsorption capacity of the Bi₂O₂SiO₃ of this invention is as high as 1370 mg / g, which is far higher than that of existing inorganic adsorbent materials.
