The methyl iodide (CH₃I) removal performance of tri-ethylene-di-amine impregnated activated carbon (TEDA-AC) used in the air cleaning unit of nuclear power plants (NPPs) should be maintained at least 99% between 24 month-performance test period. In order for evaluating the effectiveness of TEDA-AC on the removal performance of CH₃I in nuclear power plant during the operation of NPPs, the long-term test for up to 15 months was carried out under the simulated operating conditions (e.g., 25 ℃, RH 50%, ppb level poisoning gases injection) at nuclear power plants (NPPs). The TEDA-AC samples were analyzed with the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) specific surface area and TEDA content as well as CH₃I penetration test. It is clearly evident that more than 99% of CH₃I removal performance of TEDA-AC was observed in the TEDA-AC samples during 15 months of long-term operation under the simulated NPP operating conditions including the ppb level of organic and oxide form of poisoning gases. BET specific surface area and TEDA content that can affect the CH₃I removal performance of TEDA-AC were also maintained as those in new TEDA-AC during 15 months of long-term operation.

Thriethylenediamine(TEDA)주입 활성탄층에 의한 공기중의 methyliodide 제거 메카니즘이 조사되었다. 실험 결과, 공기 유속이 20cm/sec 이상일 때는 기공확산이 율속 단계였으며, 10cm/sec 일때는 기공확산 저항과 외부 물질 전달 저항이 모두 총괄 물질 전달 저항에 기여하였다. 공기중 수증기가 존재하지 않는 건조 조건하에서의 TEDA 함침 탄소층의 성능을 묘사하기 위한 흡착 모델이 제안되었다. 계산된 값은 실험 결과와 잘 일치하였다.
