Item Open Access Sorption studies of Cs+, Ba2+, and Co2+ ions on bentonite using radiotracer, ToF-SIMS, and XRD techniques(De Gruyter Oldenbourg, 2001) Shahwan, T.; Erten H. N.The sorption behaviour of Cs+, Ba2+, and Co2+ ions on bentonite were investigated using the radiotracer method, Time of Flight-Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy (ToF-SIMS), and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The sorption of Cs+ and Ba2+ were exothermic while sorption of Co2+ was endothermic. The sorption data were well described by Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms. According to ToF-SIMS results Na+ and Mg2+ were the primary exchanging ions in bentonite. The XRD spectra showed that no structural changes were associated with the sorption of Cs+ and Co2+, and BaCO3 precipitate was formed upon the sorption of Ba2+ on bentonite.Item Open Access Temperature effects in barium sorption on natural kaolinite and chlorite-illite clays(Akademiai Kiado Rt., 2004) Shahwan, T.; Erten, H. N.The sorption of Ba2+ ion on natural kaolinite and chlorite-illite clays was investigated at different initial concentrations and temperatures using the radiotracer method. The sorption data were well described by Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms. Ba2+ sorption on both clays showed an exothermic behavior with ΔH° (kJ/mol) values being -7 and -5 for sorption on kaolinite and chlorite illite mixed clay, respectively. The ΔG° values indicate that the sorption was spontaneous with sorption energies corresponding to ion-exchange type sorption. X-ray diffraction studies showed that no significant change in the matrix of the clays occurred upon Ba2+ sorption.
