Abstract
In this work, Cs+ ion sorption on some clays
and zeolite were investigated. 137Cs was used as a tracer.
Activities were measured with a NaI crystal gamma
counter. The particle size distribution was determined by a
laser sizer. Surface area of the particles were determined by
BET (Brunauer, Emmett and Teller method). Structure
analysis was made by using X-ray diffraction. The chemical compositions of the solid samples were determined
using a ICAP-OE spectrometer. Kinetic and thermodynamic parameters were determined. Due to very high
uptake results; clay and zeolite can be proposed as a good
sorbents in waste management considerations.
