Salt filtration system and method of removing a radioactive material from a gas using the same

This invention describes a way to clean radioactive materials from gas. It works by directing the gas, which contains water vapor and radioactive particles, through a bed primarily made of a specific salt called sodium pentaborate. As the water vapor condenses, it dissolves some of the salt, forming a solution that then captures the radioactive material while the rest of the gas passes through.

Why it matters: Computational modeling and simulation tools for complex chemical processes and nuclear safety have significantly advanced since 2014, potentially simplifying the design and validation of such a specialized filtration system.
