STRUCTURAL IMPLICATIONS IN CESIUM SORPTION
Journal Article

· Health Physics (England)
The effectiveness of the local Conasauga shale for removing cesium from radioactive waste solutions is discussed. Illite, which is present in the shale, has a particularly high affinity for cesium. The importance of the c-axis dimension of the 2: 1 layer lattice clays was demonstrated by using synthetic micas and selected cation treatment. The beneficial role of potassium in the mica and illtte is primarily because this element can induce and maintain collapse of the c-axis. Ion exchange dimension tn predicting the cesinm sorption behavior of clays. The potassium treatment and oven-drying of clays followed by cesium sorption may be used to differentiate montmorillonite from vermiculite. The importance of the findings in terms of weathering and diagenetic processes involving clays ts discussed. (auth)
