TLDR
In this paper, after dissolving irradiated nuclear fuel in a nitric acid medium, the vapor produced by this dissolution and consisting of water, nitrogen oxides and iodine is passed into a condenser, then into a column for the absorption of the nitrous vapor in which is formed recombined nitric acids containing iodine and nitrous ions, the iodine contained in the recombined acid being then separated out.
Abstract
After dissolving irradiated nuclear fuel in a nitric acid medium, the vapor produced by this dissolution and consisting of water, nitrogen oxides and iodine is passed into a condenser, then into a column for the absorption of the nitrous vapor in which is formed recombined nitric acid containing iodine and nitrous ions, the iodine contained in the recombined acid being then separated-out. The nitrous ions present in the recombined acid have a favorable influence on the important first stage of that separation.

Process for the removal of iodine and organic iodine compounds from gases and vapors using silver-containing zeolite of the faujasite type

TL;DR: Iodine and organic iodine compounds which may be radioactive and which might be found in waste gases or vapors from nuclear reactors can be removed by passing the iodine or organic iodine compound-containing gases and vapors through a layer of binder-free silver-exchanged molecular sieve granulates of the faujasite type as discussed by the authors.
