Abstract
Methods of capturing and immobilizing radioactive nuclei with metal fluorite-based inorganic materials are described. For example, a method of capturing and immobilizing radioactive nuclei includes flowing a gas stream through an exhaust apparatus. The exhaust apparatus includes a metal fluorite-based inorganic material. The gas stream includes a radioactive species. The radioactive species is removed from the gas stream by adsorbing the radioactive species to the metal fluorite-based inorganic material of the exhaust apparatus.
Claims7
A method of capturing and immobilizing radioactive nuclei, the method comprising:
- flowing a gas stream through an exhaust apparatus comprising a metal fluorite-based inorganic material, the gas stream comprising a radioactive species;
- and
- removing, from the gas stream, the radioactive species by adsorbing the radioactive species to the metal fluorite-based inorganic material of the exhaust apparatus.
