Product Overview

In nuclear facilities, the efficient capture of radioactive iodine is a primary safety requirement to prevent the release of radioactive materials into the environment. Standard activated carbon lacks the specialized pore structure and adsorption capacity required for this critical application.

Our PSD-NPC(Nuclear Protective Carbon) utilizes an advanced, proprietary activation process to create an ultra-dense network of sub-nanometer micropores, specifically sized to physically trap elemental radioactive iodine (I-131) under both normal operating conditions and accident scenarios. The ultra-high iodine value (>1400 mg/g) guarantees a massive volume of these specialized micropores, delivering exceptional iodine retention capacity and long service life in nuclear air filtration systems.

This dual-action physical and chemical capture capability makes our Nuclear Protective Carbon the ideal choice for nuclear power plant containment ventilation, off-gas treatment systems, medical isotope production facilities, and spent fuel pool exhaust filtration.

FAQ

Q1: Can standard activated carbon be used for nuclear facility iodine removal?

A: No. Standard activated carbon lacks the ultra-dense micropore network and high iodine value (>1400 mg/g) required to physically trap radioactive iodine molecules effectively. Additionally, standard carbon cannot capture volatile organic iodides like methyl iodide without specialized chemical impregnation, making it unsuitable for nuclear safety applications.

Q2: What is TEDA impregnation and when is it required for nuclear carbon?

A: TEDA (Triethylenediamine) is a chemical compound impregnated into the activated carbon that reacts with and destroys volatile organic iodides like methyl iodide, which cannot be captured by physical adsorption alone. It is required for nuclear applications where organic iodides may be present, such as during nuclear reactor accidents or in medical isotope production facilities, to ensure comprehensive radioactive iodine capture.

Q3: Can you provide samples before bulk order?

A: Yes, samples can be given to you. Please contact us for details. Once we charge you the sample fee, please rest assured that this will be a refund when you place a formal order.

Q4: What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

A: MOQ depends on product type. Please contact us for detailed information.

Q5: How long is the delivery time?

A: Normally 15-30 working days depending on order quantity and production schedule.

Q6: How to confirm payment?
