Abstract
The sorption of Cs and Sr ions from aqueous solutions (concentration range: 20-400 mg/L) by red-clay from Sivrihisar-Eskisehir (Turkey) has been inves tigated using EDXRF spectrometry. The XRD pattern of the sample indicates t hat it contains montmorillonite, illite, albite, chlorite and quartz. The r esults indicate the presence of correlations between sorbed Cs ions and des orbed Na and K ions and sorbed Sr ions and desorbed Mg and Ca ions. Sorptio n processes are found to show a Freundlich-type behaviour. The Dubinin-Radu shkevich (D-R) isotherm has been applied to the sorption data and the param eters of the D-R equation were calculated.
