Summary
The sorption of Cs(I) and Sr(II) on bentonite and magnetite was experimentally studied and numerically simulated using surface complexation (SCM) and ion-exchange (IExM) models. The empirical system consisted of: (1) synthetic granitic water with a given ionic strength (0.1 or 0.01 NaNO3), (2) radionuclides studied (10-6M CsCl or SrCl2 . 6H2O spiked with 137Cs or 85Sr), and (3) bentonite pre-treated with the aim to remove carbonates, and magnetite as a representative of steel canister corrosion products. The parametric study covered, e.g., the influence of pH, bentonite to magnetite ratio and volume-liquid ratio on the values of selectivity coefficients and Kd.
