Abstract

Sorption of cesium on montmorillonite has been studied under nonequilibrium conditions. Depending on the initial pH of the solutions, initial fast sorption was followed by slow additional sorption (acidic region) or desorption (basic region). Dissolution of main montmorillonite constituents in acidic solutions results in progressive changes in both surface structure and charge distribution. Additional sorption may be explained by an increase of charge density at the montmorillonite/electrolyte interface. Suspensions aged in basic region revealed partial cesium desorption. The diminishing of sorptive properties is explained by the formation of secondary precipitate which may effectively coat the montmorillonite/electrolyte interface and/or readsorption of released clay constituents.
