“…In many of those low temperature sintering glasses, AgI is still the phase that contains iodine and the glass functions as a matrix that encapsulates AgI. In addition to glasses, other waste forms for iodine have also been considered, including iodide sodalite (Sheppard et al, 2006;Maddrell et al, 2014), hydrotalcite-like layered bismuth-iodine-oxide (Krumhansl and Nenoff, 2011), organic frameworks (MOFs) materials (Sava et al, 2012), cyclodextrins compounds (Szente et al, 1999), uranyl borates (Wu et al, 2011), and apatites (Audubert et al, 1997;Carpena et al, 2001;Uno et al, 2001;Zhang et al, 2007;Le Gallet et al, 2010;Campayo et al, 2011;Stennett et al, 2011;Redfern et al, 2012;Lu et al, 2013;Yao et al, 2014). Each of above proposed waste forms for iodine has its unique advantages and limitations that in some part depend on the disposal condition.…”
