Abstract
Three-dimensional ordered macropores silica (3DOM-SiO2) aerogels prepared by the sol-gel and colloidal crystal template technology have attracted wide attention in the field of gaseous radioiodine capture. 3DOM effectively reduces the diffusion resistance of gas, increases the specific surface area and improves the capture capacity of the aerogels. The optimization of the calcination process for removing colloidal crystal templates is very important for the construction of 3DOM. The effects of calcination rate and calcination temperature on the microstructure, specific surface area, surface official energy group, phase composition, and iodine adsorption capacity of 3DOM-SiO2 were systematically investigated. The results showed that the calcination rate and temperature affected the iodine capture capacity of 3DOM-SiO2 by affecting the formation of macropores, mesopores, and micropores and the content of adsorbed water in the pore structure. The optimization of the 3DOM preparation process provides a scientific basis for the capture and application of radioactive iodine.
