Abstract

An emprical study has been conducted to determine the ability of common granitic fracture-filling minerals to remove aqueous iodine species from solution. The two iodine species studied were iodide and iodate. The effect on measured sorption of the initial iodide or iodate concentration in solution, the total dissolved solids in solution and the solution volume to solid weight ratio were determined using a statistically designed experimental technique. It was concluded that iodide was not significantly sorbed by chemical interaction with the fracture-filling minerals used. Iodate sorption was observed under a variety of conditions with a number of the minerals. The significant coefficients required to solve the polynomial equation describing the observed sorption were determined.
