Summary Iodine in water is of great interest in some undeveloped countries, and wood can be used as a iodine reservoir capable of releasing it with a controlled rate. The problem of iodine release from a wooden beam is considered in this paper in a rather complex case. The beam is immersed in a finite volume of pure water for a given time, and then reimmersed successively in the same way. Equilibrium of desorption is not attained at the end of each stage of immersion. A numerical model with finite differences was built and successfully tested, providing the kinetics of release and the profiles of iodine concentration in the wood.
