The effects of water vapor, No, No/sub 2/ and bed temperature on the elemental-iodine loadings of silver-exchanged mordenite were determined. A test bed of silver-exchanged mordenite, in which iodine was repeatedly loaded as elemental iodine and stripped as hydrogen iodide, was recycled 13 times. Lead-exchanged zeolites were developed as secondary adsorbents for the final storage of iodine.
