Jz. Du et al., SORPTION AND DESORPTION OF RADIOCESIUM ON CALCAREOUS SOIL AND ITS SOLID COMPONENTS, Journal of radioanalytical and nuclear chemistry, 231(1-2), 1998, pp. 183-185
The effect of various solid soil components on the retention of Cs was
investigated by using batch technique and selective extraction method
. The sorption and desorption isotherms of Cs on the untreated, calcar
eous soil and the three treated soils were determined at 20 degrees C,
pH 7.8+/-0.2 and in the presence of 0.001M CaCl2. It was found that a
ll isotherms are nonlinear, and that the sorption-desorption hysteresi
s on the calcareous soil actually occurs on the same time scale.
