Abstract

The influence of the ammonium acetate concentration on the degree of cesium extraction from bottom deposits in Lakes Svyatoe and Kozhanovskoe is studied. It is shown that degree of cesium desorption is independent of the concentration of the displacing solution in the range 10–3–1 M, provided that the amount of ammonium acetate per unit mass of sorbent remains constant. This result shows that the collapse of interpacket spaces of clay minerals either does not happen at all or it has the same effect on the degree of extraction of cesium by solutions with different concentrations.
