Highly radioiodine gas capture by 2-mercaptobenzimidazole-functionalized Bi/Mg oxide and effective iodine waste immobilization by etidronic-BiO complex.

The present work prepared a novel BiMgO-2MBD (X = 0.42) material for iodine vapor capture in temperature conditions related to spent nuclear fuel reprocessing and nuclear accidents. BiMgO-2MBD (X = 0.

Molecular reaction and dynamic mechanism of iodate reduction to molecular iodine by nitrogen(III) in aqueous solution.

This work studies the molecular reaction and dynamic mechanism of iodate reduction by nitrogen(III) in aqueous solution using the molecular dynamics (AIMD) method based on density functional theory (DFT). Two possible reaction pathways (without and with H) are proposed. The thermodynamic parameters of the proposed reaction pathways are calculated.
