Summary:Introduction of I sub(2) molecules into zeolite A (sodium form) was made through a three-step procedure: water removal from zeolite, introduction of iodine via gas phase and removal of I sub(2) from ZA surface by dissolution in absolute ethanol. Interactions of zeolite A saturated with incorporated iodine vapor was studied by vibration spectroscopy (FT Raman and FTIR), DTG and XRD. Results show that about 50% of iodine exists in the framework voids of zeolite A in the form of elemental iodine (molecules, clusters, crystals) and the rest exists in the ionic forms. The ionic forms of iodine (formed by disproportionation of iodine) interact with the negatively charged aluminosilicate framework of zeolite A and with compensating sodium ions. The possible characters of interactions are also discussed.
