Abstract
The treatment of radioactive iodine waste is significant for the further expansion of the nuclear industry. In this study, AgI and zeolite-4A were used to synthesize iodosodalite. AgI in its molten state can not react with zeolite 4A to synthesis iodosodalite, ion exchange is used to exchange Ag+ for Na+ in zeolite 4A and transform zeolite 4A into AgAlSiO4. AgI can enter the lattice of zeolite through the action of Ag+, and then synthesize (Ag)iodosodalite. The phase composition, morphology and the main elements valence state of the sintered matrix were investigated. The results indicate that AgI and zeolite 4A successfully synthesize (Ag)iodosodalite after ion exchange, the moderate temperature sintering method can be employed for iodine waste immobilization.
