  • Publication number: 20230032273
    Abstract: An organic iodine remover is a remover for removing organic iodine and is a substance composed of a cation and an anion, and the cation (for example, a phosphonium cation, an ammonium cation, or a sulfonium cation) has a molecular structure in which an electron donating group (for example, a phosphino group, an amino group, a sulfanyl group, a hydroxy group, or an alkoxy group) is bonded to a phosphorus atom, a nitrogen atom or a sulfur atom. An organic iodine removing apparatus includes: a vessel into which the organic iodine remover for removing the organic iodine is charged; and introduction pipes through which a fluid containing organic iodine is introduced into the organic iodine remover.

  • Publication number: 20220139586
    Abstract: As an organic iodine remover that removes organic iodine in a containment vessel of a nuclear reactor, an organic agent (for example, an ionic liquid, an interfacial active agent, a quaternary salt, or a phase transfer catalyst) having a function of dissolving and decomposing the organic iodine and retaining iodine is used. The organic iodine remover is a substance composed of a cation and an anion. The organic iodine remover is, in particular, an organic iodine remover in which, in a structure of the cation of the organic agent, carbon or oxygen is bonded to, via a single bond, to a phosphorus element, a sulfur element or a nitrogen element, the number of carbon chains is 2 or more, and an anionic structure is configured with a substance with high nucleophilicity. By using such an organic agent, the organic iodine is removed with an efficiency of 99% or more.

  • Publication number: 20220139587
    Abstract: To provide an iodine trapping apparatus capable of trapping organic iodine in a wide temperature range with high efficiency. The iodine trapping apparatus includes a first trapping agent 2 capable of trapping organic iodine in a gas in a nuclear power structure main body. The first trapping agent 2 contains a generating and trapping component which generates an iodide ion (I?) from organic iodine (RI) and traps the generated iodide ion, and a generating component which is different from the generating and trapping component, generates an iodide ion from the organic iodine at least at 100° C. to 130° C., and traps the generated iodide ion in the generating and trapping component.

  • Publication number: 20220051813
    Abstract: An organic iodine trapping apparatus and method efficiently traps organic iodine in a nuclear reactor container vessel. A liquid vessel contains a non-volatile liquid (e.g., ionic liquid or interfacial active agent solution) capable of decomposing organic iodine. An introduction pipe introduces a fluid containing organic iodine in the nuclear reactor container vessel to the non-volatile liquid. The non-volatile liquid is heated by heat in the nuclear reactor container vessel or reaction heat of the fluid in the nuclear reactor container vessel. Then, the trapping apparatus decomposes and traps the organic iodine. The organic iodine trapping method includes heating a non-volatile liquid capable of decomposing organic iodine by heat in the nuclear reactor container vessel or reaction heat of fluid in the nuclear reactor container vessel; making the fluid containing organic iodine pass through the heated non-volatile liquid; and decomposing and trapping the organic iodine in the non-volatile liquid.
