The objective of this test plan is to describe research to determine the gaseous by-products of the adsorption of CH₃I on hydrogen reduced silver exchanged mordenite (AgZ). An initial test plan was developed in FY 2012 to discern the chemical reactions that occur when organic iodides interact with the other components in a prototypical off-gas in the presence of silver-loaded zeolite, AgZ. CH₃I is used as a surrogate for organic iodides that could be present in the gas streams, although follow-on tests include potentially using other organic iodides as well. This test plan was updated to reflect test results obtained during FY 2013 to FY 2015 and was further adjusted based on additional information from the relevant literature obtained since 2012. Four main questions are listed that need to be answered to verify earlier test results that indicate that CH₃I and I₂ are present in the effluent from a column containing AgZ.
