Entrapment of Iodine with Cyclodextrins: Potential Application of Cyclodextrins in Nuclear Waste Management

Article Abstract:

Hungarian researchers found that cyclodextrins (a starch derivative) when added to an air filter, effectively traps substantial gaseous radioactive iodine, which is a significant contaminant of nuclear waste and nuclear power plant accidents such as occurred at Chernobyl.
