Abstract: In order to investigate the adsorption ability of regenerated cellulose aerogel to iodine vapor, regenerated cellulose spherical aerogels(RCSA) were prepared from natural bamboo fibers and then Ag2O/RCSA were fabricated by adsorption and reaction of ammine silver complex ion on the surface of cellulose. In addition, the adsorption ability to iodine was studied by taking 127I as the radioisotope of 131I. The morphology, crystal form and pore structure of Ag2O/RCSA were characterized and analyzed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD) and BET specific surface area. The results showed that the color of RCSA turned from white to brown with the appending of Ag2O nanoparticles, but the original three-dimensional network structure cellulose aerogels didn't change. Ag2O nanoparticles uniformly distributed in the cellulose backbone and closely combined with cellulose. Both N2 adsorption and desorption isotherms of RCSA and Ag2O/RCSA exhibited the characteristics of type Ⅳ isotherms. The BET specific surface area and BJH pore volume of Ag2O/RCSA decreased obviously compared with those of RCSA, and there was little change in the size of the average pore diameter. The adsorption of Ag2O/RCSA to iodine vapor was physical adsorption by porous aerogel and chemical adsorption by turning Ag2O into AgI, and the total iodine vapor adsorption capacity of Ag2O/RCSA was 87.8 mg/g.
