We have found out that van der Waals interactions play an important role and can contribute up to about 50% of the total adsorption energy for the alkaline series. Both computed adsorption energies at 0 K and adsorption enthalpies for temperatures ranging from 298 to 523 K highlight the following points: (i) CO and H2O have been identified as the most important inhibiting species; (ii) Hard cations such as H+ or Li+ are very sensitive to water whereas soft cations such as Cu+ and Ag+ can strongly adsorb I2 and CH3I. Therefore, Ag-FAU appears to be the most promising adsorbent in presence of all contaminants, except CO which can inhibit the adsorption of I2. These findings can help to improve the filtering devices used in nuclear plants to avoid the release of radioactive iodine in case of severe accident.Lire moins >
