Abstract

Aqueous dissolution tests of silver iodide (AgI) were performed in Na 2S solutions in order to evaluate, empirically, dissolution of AgI to release iodine under reducing conditions with sulfide. The results indicated that AgI dissolves to release iodine being controlled by mainly precipitation of Ag2S. However, the dissolution of AgI can be depressed to proceed, and the thermodynamic equihbrium cannot be attained easily. Solid phase analysis for the reacted AgI suggested that a thin layer of solid silver forming at AgI surface may evolve to be protective against transportation of reactant species, which can lead to the depression in the dissolution of AgI.
