Abstract
Efficient immobilization of 129I is of great significance for the development of the nuclear industry due to its long half-life and high mobility in the environment. Aiming at radioactive iodine-adsorbed waste treatment, iodine-loaded silver-coated silica gel was immobilized into B₂O₃-Bi₂O₃-ZnO glass-(Ag)iodosodalite with varying Al/Si ratios and glass content. XRD results showed that increasing the Al/Si ratio can reduce the formation temperature and inhibit the decomposition of iodosodalite at high temperatures, while the addition of borate glass content reduces the formation temperature of (Ag) iodosodalite from 800 °C to 500 °C. The synthesized B₂O₃-Bi₂O₃-ZnO glass-(Ag) iodosodalite consists of irregular grains with an I content of 11.8 wt. %, indicating that 92.2 % of I ions are immobilized and only 7.8 % escape. Chemical stability analysis indicates that the iodine leaching rate is on the order of 10⁻⁶ g/(m²·d).
