Provided are a filtration material for filtered venting and a filtered venting device that are more effective in adsorbing radioactive iodine than in the conventional art and are useful for addressing severe accidents. The filtration material for filtered venting comprises granulated zeolite L, wherein at least a portion of the ion exchange sites of the zeolite L are substituted with silver. Of the ion exchange sites, a constitution ratio (a/b) of ion exchange sites (a) substituted with silver to ion exchange sites (b) not substituted with silver is 25/75-55/45. The zeolite L has a silver content of 7-12 wt % on a dry weight basis.

There is provided an organic iodine trapping apparatus that can efficiently trap an organic iodine without using complicated or large equipment. An organic iodine trapping apparatus 30 is an apparatus that traps an organic iodine, including: a trapping vessel 1 through which gas containing an organic iodine is passed; an organic iodine remover 2 (Example: trihexyl (tetradecyl) phosphonium chloride, or the like) that is disposed in or injected into the trapping vessel 1 and decomposes the organic iodine; and a trapping material 3 that is disposed in or injected into the trapping vessel 1 and traps iodine ions generated by decomposition of the organic iodine, in which the trapping material 3 is a metal (Example: silver or the like) or a metal compound (Example: silver chloride, silver oxide, or the like).

Highly porous nucleophilic organic cages (Nu-POC) were in-situ synthesized on cotton fibers by a condensation reaction between cyanuric chloride and melamine, and the products were employed as a robust wearable and flexible detoxifying protective material (denoted as POCotton) for vaporous pesticides. The covalent growth of Nu-POC particles on surfaces of cotton fibers retained the physical characteristics of Nu-POC to the greatest extend, which include specific surface area and porosity, while the cotton fabrics still remained wearable. The resultant POCotton can repeatedly adsorb fumigant vapors instantly (i.e., equilibrium reached within one minute) and massively (i.e., adsorption capacity at 596.88 mg/g of methyl iodide).

Disclosed is an apparatus for reducing floating radioactive material in a containment building capable of reducing radioactive material in the event of a major accident in a containment building such as a nuclear power plant. A radioactive material reduction unit configured to reduce radioactive material in the air is provided upstream of a flow induction unit configured to induce an air flow through catalytic reaction with hydrogen in the air in the event of a major accident. The flow induction unit may have a replaceable modular form. The radioactive material reduction unit may include an adsorber module configured to remove gaseous radioactive material, such as iodine or an iodine compound. The adsorber module may have a replaceable modular form. In addition, the radioactive material reduction unit may further include an aerosol filter fixed to an inlet to remove particulate radioactive material.

The present disclosure relates generally to processes for scrubbing an off-gas stream of an acetic acid production unit. In one aspect, a process includes introducing the off-gas stream to the absorption column; introducing to the absorption column, a methanol stream at a first flow rate, the methanol stream having a first temperature at the liquid inlet, the first temperature being at least 18 C. (e.g., at least 20 C., or at least 22 C.); in the absorption column, contacting the off-gas stream with the methanol stream; through a liquid outlet of the one or more liquid outlets, withdrawing a first liquid effluent from the absorption column, the first liquid effluent comprising methanol and methyl iodide; and through the vapour outlet, withdrawing a vapour effluent from the absorption column.
