Behavior of cesium in the presence of a natural and treated sediment
Abstract
The behavior of cesium in the presence of a natural sediment (NS) and its inorganic components (WS) was studied. The sediment was treated to remove the organic matter, and both materials were characterized. Albite, kaolinite, and quartz were found in the materials by X-ray diffraction; the surface areas were 20.1 and 4.9 m2/g for NS and WS, respectively; the points of zero charge were 5.8 and 5.2, and organic carbon percentages were 0.78 and
Fields of Study & Subjects
Chemical Synthesis and Characterization
Adsorption and biosorption for pollutant removal
Radioactive contamination and transfer
