A simple method for quantifying iodate and iodide fractions in solution using Ag + -impregnated activated carbon

In this study, the utilization of silver-impregnated granular activated carbon for separation between two iodine species, iodate and iodide, from each other was studied in different solution matrices with batch and column experiments. A high separation of the iodine species was achieved in the high concentrations of interfering ions, e.g. chloride, and in both μM and trace iodine concentrations. The method is suitable for both radioactive and non-radioactive iodine.
