Study of the stability of CsI and iodine oxides (IOx) aerosols and trapping efficiency of small aerosols on sand bed and metallic filters under irradiation

Résumé

The decomposition of deposited CsI and iodine oxides (IOx) aerosols deposited on sand bed and on a metallic filter has been pursued under irradiation at 120°C. On the sand, it was found that CsI aerosols are decomposed by the irradiation and the temperature effect into an inorganic specie assumed to be molecular iodine. The temperature effect might be due to surface effects of the sand grains as CsI aerosols are usually stable at this temperature. IOx aerosols are expected to be well retained by the sand filter (DF > 100) as long as the sand height is high enough (> 60 cm). IOx are also decomposed by the temperature and irradiation. The humidity is also expected to have a significant influence on their decomposition. On the metallic filter, despite both species are expected to be significantly decomposed, very few gaseous iodine release from the filter was observed. The gaseous iodine species produced by the aerosols decomposition is assumed to be quickly adsorbed on the steel wires even if a slow desorption is also expected.
