Abstract: The China Bureau of Energy standard “NB/T 20039.15—2012 Code on nuclear air and gas treatment-Ventilation, air conditioning, and air cleaning-Part 15: Adsorbent media” set the minimum requirements for performance, design, acceptance test, and quality assurance of adsorbent media used in air and gas treatment systems of nuclear facilities. This is an important document for ensuring the safe operation of nuclear facilities. The discrepancies between this domestic standard and foreign standards were compared and the causes of discrepancies were analyzed. Other opinions and requirements related to the adsorbent media from some guidelines and standards were also explained to promote professional understanding on the requirements and background information for this kind of adsorbent media of iodine absorbers in nuclear facilities.

Key words: iodine absorber, adsorbent media, nuclear air cleaning, gas treatment, activated carbon
