AI Article Synopsis
- - This research introduces a new biocompatible material made from a cross-linked trianglamine network designed to efficiently remove iodine from air, water, and seawater.
- - The material can capture a remarkable 6 grams of iodine per gram of its weight from vapor, making it one of the best materials available for this purpose, and it also works effectively in liquid environments like freshwater and seawater.
- - The trianglamine network is notable for its fast iodine adsorption, full recyclability, eco-friendliness, affordability, and potential scalability, making it a promising option for addressing iodine contamination in nuclear accidents.
Article Abstract
Herein, we report for the first time a biocompatible cross-linked trianglamine (Δ) network for the efficient iodine removal from the vapor phase, water, and seawater. In the vapor phase, the cross-linked network could capture 6 g g of iodine, ranking among the most performant materials for iodine vapor capture. In the liquid phase, this cross-linked network is also capable of capturing iodine at high rates from aqueous media (water and seawater). This network displayed fast adsorption kinetics, and they are fully recyclable. This study reveals the high affinity of iodine for the intrinsic cavity of the trianglamine. The synthesized materials are extremely interesting since they are environmentally friendly and inexpensive and the synthesis could easily be scaled up to be used as the material of choice in response to accidents in the nuclear industry.
