Abstract
Silver exchanged zeolites A, X and Y were used to occlude silver iodide (AgI) at 400°C. Heating to 900°C in a hot isostatic press caused decomposition of the zeolite materials and the formation of more dense phases. Silver zeolites A and X both formed sodalite, seen as a potential 129I waste form, while silver zeolite Y formed an x-ray amorphous phase containing Agi. Silver zeolite A produced the best potential waste form, a monolithic sodalite with negligible porosity.
