Abstract

This paper presents results of a physicochemical study of the preparation of extrapure-grade (99.998%-pure) cesium iodide from a technically pure product obtained by reacting cesium carbonate and hydriodic acid. The synthesized CsI was purified in two steps, involving vacuum drying and high-temperature distillation. We calculated kinetic constants of vacuum drying and evaluated water content as a function of temperature. The final step in removing regulated impurities from CsI was high-temperature distillation. Metallic impurities in the samples thus prepared were determined using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and X-ray diffraction. The results are presented for the first time.
