FOREWORD The Second CSNI Workshop on Iodine Chemistry in Reactor Safety was held in Toronto, Canada, on 1988 June 2 and 3. The Workshop was hosted by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) and Ontario Hydro, and was attended by about forty iodine experts from ten OECD countries. Nineteen research papers were presented on various aspects of iodine chemistry, ranging form the most fundamental to the most applied. These papers and the ensuing discussions indicate that substantial progress was made in understanding the chemistry of iodine in water-cooled power-reactor accidents. The Workshop was a most effective forum for exchanging information on new progress and for delineating problems requiring resolution. As Chairman of the Workshop, I wish to thank the authors who have made this Workshop possible with their excellent contributions; the Program Committee, namely Dr. E.C. Beahm (USA), Dr. P.N. Clough (UK), Dr. W. Morell (FRG), Dr. P.E. Potter (UK) and Dr. J. Royen (OECD) for preparing the program; and the session Chairmen for running the Workshop. Also, I would like to acknowledge Mr. R.J. Fluke (Ontario Hydro) for his assistance with local arrangements and Dr. W. Kupferschmidt (AECL), Mr. A. Melnyk (AECL) and Mrs. C.J.

LIST OF PARTICIPANTS 321 - 1 - INTRODUCTION It is my pleasure to welcome you, on behalf of the OECD and its Nuclear Energy Agency, to this Second CSNI Workshop on the Chemistry of Iodine in Reactor Safety, organized in collaboration with Atomic Energy of Canada Limited and Ontario Hydro. Iodine chemistry continues to enjoy high priority in the CSNI programs of work as part of severe accident source term studies. Following the Three Mile Island accident, considerable interest was generated in the chemical form of iodine in severe accidents. Because of the apparent small release of iodine to the containment, it was suggested that the chemical form of iodine must have hindered its release from the reactor coolant system; it was concluded tentatively that a low-volatility iodide compound, namely cesium iodide, had been formed, and that it had been transported as such within the plant instead of molecular iodine as previously assumed. In fact, there was very little direct evidence from the TMI accident that indicated what the chemical form of .he iodine was during reactor coolant system transport or in the containment. Thermodynamic analyses conducted for NUREG-0772 (published in 1981) showed the formation of cesium iodide during transport in the reactor coolant system, but its formation was not favoured in the reactor core. Since the publication of NUREG-0772, additional experimental evidence indicates that other factors may also affect cesium iodide stability in the reactor coolant system. The environment created during a reactor accident contains a large number of chemical species and this results in a complex chemistry. Factors affecting the chemical form of iodine in the reactor coolant system - and therefore its volatility - include the cesium-to-iodine ratio, boron compounds, hydrogen-to-steam ratio, temperature, pH and redox potential of the aqueous medium, and possibly others such as radiation. They will thus depend on the type of accident. If iodine is transported through the reactor coolant system as cesium iodide, because of its lower volatility, a significant fraction of iodine would be retained by aerosol deposition or condensation. In this case, iodine release to the containment is reduced, which is particularly important in accident analyses involving early containment failures. On the other hand, volatile iodides such as I2 and HI are more readily transported in the reactor coolant system. In this case, the major parameter affecting the release of iodine is the amount of volatile iodide generated in the reactor coolant system. A detailed understanding of the chemistry of iodine in aqueous solutions is an essential step in the prediction of the magnitude of possible releases of volatile iodine to the environment in water reactor accidents. The key issues, therefore, are: 1. what are the chemical forms of iodine in the reactor coolant system over the range of severe accident conditions, and 2. how would they affect severe accident iodine source terms. These issues affect all types of plants and neeidrnt sequences. They are Important components of t lie mandate of Principal Working Group No. A on the Confinement of Accidental Radioactive ! .-leases ot the NEA's Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI). They have been included in the 1989-1991 programme of work of the Group. It is my pleasure to thank, on behalf of NEA, Atomic Energy of Canada Limited and Ontario Hydro for the hospitality generously offered to this Workshop. We also would like to thank the members of the Programme Committee, Dr. Beahm, Dr. Clough, Dr. Neeb (represented by Dr. Morell), Dr. Potter and more particularly Dr. Vikis who has taken charge of the Canadian part of the organization of the Workshop. Thanks to their efforts and advice, the meeting will be fruitful and very interesting. We would also like to thank Ontario Hydro, in particular Mr. Fluke, for organizing yesterday a very informative visit to the Darlington nuclear power plant. Few of us had seen a CANDU reactor before that; the visit and the explanations were most interesting. J.

The effect of pH, dosage of IO4-, dosage of initial phenol and ultrasonic irradiation time on the phenol degradation were examined. Furthermore, the impacts of ion intensity on phenol degradation were examined. The findings indicated that the disgrace ratio advanced in acidic conditions and an upper degradation was achieved in combination processes. The current new investigation examined the effect of ion intensity and the findings determined that the principal intensity of solution is an inactive variable on phenol disgrace with these systems. A comparison research among IO4-/ US system and IO4- and US separately determined the COD removal and indicated that an combined method of IO4-/ US system had the best execution.

Zachariah* Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, and Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland 20742, United States *S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: Iodine pentoxide (I2O5), also known as diiodine pentoxide, is a strong oxidizer which has been recently proposed as an iodine-rich oxidizer in nanoenergetic formulations, whose combustion products lead to molecular iodine as a biocidal agent. However, its highly hygroscopic nature hinders its performance as a strong oxidizer and an iodine releasing agent and prevents its implementation. In this work, we developed a gas phase assisted aerosol spray pyrolysis which enables creation of iron oxide passivated I2O5. Transmission electron microscopy elemental imaging as well as temperature-jump mass spectrometry confirmed the core shell fi nature of the material and the fact that I2O5 could be encapsulated in pure unhydrated form. Combustion performance nds an optimal coating thickness that enables combustion performance similar to a high performing CuO based thermite.

Parkeyb and Mehmet Kesmezb Iodic acids are widely studied in atmospheric and biological applications but their inherent hydrophilic properties introduce complexities that affect their functionality and reactivity. We have shown that iodic acid (HIO3) dehydrates directly into iodine pentoxide (I2O5) in contradiction to the generally accepted multi-step dehydration mechanism where HIO3 dehydrates into HI3O8 first, then dehydrates into I2O5. The generally accepted mechanism is used to determine the concentration of iodic acid by TGA and is only valid for special conditions. The revised mechanism allows for the determination of concentrations of iodic acids under all conditions, and the more specific conditions where the accepted mechanism is Received 6th December 2016 valid are shown. The determination of concentration of iodic acid with the revised dehydration Accepted 1st February 2017 mechanism is dependent on assumptions of residual water and initial concentration of HI3O8.
