Potassium iodide

Potassium iodide is a component in nuclear safety, particularly for the purification of exhaust air streams in nuclear facilities. As an impregnating agent for adsorbents, it enables the bonding of radioactive gaseous iodine.

The impregnation of carrier materials, such as activated carbon or zeolites, creates highly effective adsorption media that capture and retain iodine compounds.

The use of such materials is crucial for compliance with statutory limit values and makes a contribution to the protection of human health and the environment.
