Abstract
The sorption of cesium, from aqueous solution by natural clays is a very fast reaction and seems to be under film diffusion mechanism. Cesium exchanges weakly with clays of high Ca and Mg contents but strongly with silico-aluminium clays of low Ca and Mg contents. Sorption of cesium by these clays has been studied under different experimental conditions, pH, shaking time, etc. Heat and acid treatments failed to improve the uptake quality of the clays.
