Modeling of Cation Binding in Hydrated 2:1 Clay Minerals
The primary objective of our research is the development of molecular models of ion exchange on clay minerals with a view toward understanding the mechanisms of radionuclide transport through clay-rich soils. Specific scientific goals include using molecular computer simulations to calculate the thermodynamics of clay swelling and ion exchange, and to evaluate the dependence of clay properties upon interlayer ion identity and clay composition. These goals will, in general, facilitate the development structure function relationships in clays.
