A TPC—OTBS n-hexane solution is added to a mixture of TPC—OSO.sub.2F, DMF, and DBU and allowed to stand to produce a crosslinked solvent gel; the crosslinked solvent gel is added to methanol, stirred, and dried to produce the porous crosslinked material. The gel acquired can be prepared into a pore-rich solid porous organic polymer material by means of solvent exchange. SEM and TEM are used to characterize the surface and internal morphologies of the solid material, and the porous morphology thereof is discovered, with large pores being the majority. Infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance are used to characterize the structure of a crosslinked polysulfate; the complete reaction of a sulfuryl fluoride group is proven by means of solid-state fluorine nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and XPS element analysis; and the porous structure of the crosslinked polysulfate allows same to be provided with improved application prospect in terms of adsorption.

Methods of recovering iodine (I.sub.2) from a stream including iodine (I.sub.2) vapor and at least one of: an inert gas and water vapor can include contacting the stream with an alkaline solution to form an iodide salt, contacting the stream with an adsorbent to selectively adsorb water from the stream, contacting the stream with a concentrated acid to absorb the water vapor from the stream, desublimating or condensing the iodine (I.sub.2) vapor to form solid or liquid iodine (I.sub.2), or contacting the stream with a material to condense or de-sublimate the iodine (I.sub.2) vapor from the stream as the material at least one of: absorbs latent heat through a phase change of the material and absorbs sensible heat.

Provided is a method for treating radioactive iodine contained in steam discharged from a nuclear power facility, including a filling step of filling an air-permeable container with a granulated radioactive iodine adsorbent of zeolite X, wherein ion exchange sites of the zeolite X are substituted with silver so that a size of minute pores of the zeolite X is suited to a size of a hydrogen molecule, and the radioactive iodine adsorbent has a silver content of 36 wt % or more when dried, a particle size of 10×20 mesh, a hardness of 94% or more, and a water content of 12 wt % or less when dried at 150° C. for 3 h and thereby reduced in weight; and a flow passing step of passing a flow of the steam discharged from the nuclear power facility, through the container filled with the radioactive iodine adsorbent.

The present invention provides a treatment method of a radioactive iodine-containing fluid, comprising passing the radioactive iodine-containing fluid through an adsorbent for iodine consisting of a silver-containing binderless zeolite molded body having a silver content of 50 mass % or less, to adsorb the radioactive iodine on the adsorbent for iodine.
