Mineralogy and ion exchange characteristics of Savannah River Plant streambed sediments
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4311323
Samples were collected of bottom sediments from three SRP streams and of sotls from the source areas of the sediments. The samples were analyzed for clay and organic matter contents, cation exchange capacity (CEC), and mineralogy of the sand, silt, and clay fractions. Results of these analyses and intrepretation of the data lead to the following conclusions: quartz is the dominant mineral in the sand and silt fractions; kaolinite is the dominant mineral in the clay fractions; no illite, chlorite, vermiculite, or montmorillonite minerals are present; the average clay content of the sediments is 22% by weight; the average organic matter content of the sediments is 1.26% by weight; the average CFC of the sediments is 2.61 meq per 100 g; and the highest sorptive capacity is in the downstream sediments near and in the Savannah River swamp.
