Abstract
Pillared clays were characterised by thermal analysis and small-angle X-ray scattering. They were then examined for their ability to take up Cs-137 an d Sr-90/Y-90 isotopes as a function of concentration and competing cations (Na+, K+. NH4+, Ca2+, Mg2+) in the concentration range 10(-1) to 10(-4) hi. The radioisotope uptakes were quantified by K-d (ml/g) measurements.
