doi:10.16085/j.issn.1000-6613.2024-0895

Abstract

Abstract:

The radioactive gaseous iodine is the main nuclide harmful to the environment in nuclear fission products. Solid adsorption is used in nuclear power plants to capture radioactive iodine in exhausted gas. As an industrial iodine adsorption material, the impregnated activated carbon has the advantages of high adsorption efficiency and low manufacturing cost, but there are some problems such as low adsorption capacity, easy aging and easy decomposition at high temperature. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), as a new type of crystalline porous material connected by covalent bonds, show excellent iodine adsorption performance due to the high specific surface area, ordered structure, structure designability and physical and chemical stability. In this review, the adsorption mechanisms of different kinds of iodine in COFs were discussed. The iodine adsorption performances and their influencing factors of various COFs were summarized systematically. The construction principles of COFs with high iodine adsorption performance were proposed. Finally, the key challenges and development strategies of COFs for industrial applications were prospected. It pointed out the importance of developing universal low-cost preparation methods of COFs and strengthening research on adsorption performance under real industrial conditions.

Key words: covalent organic frameworks, radioactive iodine, adsorption, adsorption mechanism, porous materials

摘要：

核裂变产物中的放射性气态碘是污染环境的主要核素。核电厂采用固体吸附的方法捕集废气中的放射性碘。浸渍活性炭作为工业用碘吸附材料，具有吸附效率高、制造成本低的优点，但存在吸附容量低、易老化、高温易分解等问题。共价有机框架（covalent organic frameworks，COFs）作为一类共价键连接的新型晶态多孔材料，具有比表面积高、孔道结构有序、结构可设计性以及物理化学稳定性强等特点，展现出优异的碘吸附性能。本文探讨了不同种类碘化合物在COFs内的吸附机理，概述了不同种类COFs的碘吸附性能，系统总结了影响COFs碘吸附性能的多种因素，提出了高碘吸附性能COFs材料的设计策略。最后，总结了COFs实现工业应用的主要挑战及发展前景，指出需开发具有普适性的低成本COFs制备方法并加强其在实际工况条件下吸附性能的研究。
