Clay minerals retain or adsorb metal ions in the Earth's critical zone. Rocks, sediments and
soils rich in clay minerals can concentrate rare earth elements (REEs) in ion adsorption-type …

The effect of temperature and ionic strength on the diffusion of HTO parallel to the direction
of compaction through 5 highly compacted clay minerals (bulk dry density, ρb, d= 1.90±0.05 …

CO2 sequestration and enhanced gas recovery (CS-EGR) is a viable option with enormous
potentials to produce shale gas. However, the microscopic competitive sorption behaviors of …

This study provides a large set of experimental selenite sorption data for pure smectite and
illite. Similar sorption behavior existed in both clays: linear within a large range of the Se …

Sorption edges and isotherms for Eu (III) uptake on Ca-montmorillonite and Na-illite in 0.066
mol/L Ca (ClO4) 2 and 0.1 mol/L NaClO4 background electrolytes, respectively, were …

Reliable predictions of radiocontaminant migration are a requirement for the establishment
of radioactive waste repositories. Parametrization of the necessary sorption models seems …

Cesium adsorption onto Illite has been widely studied, because this clay is especially
relevant for Cs migration-retention in the environment. The objective of this study is to …

Performance assessment of nuclear waste disposal options requires implementation of
effective buffer materials. Buffer materials must meet longevity requirements and scavenge …

The isotope dilution technique using Na and Cs as index cations was used to determine the
cation exchange capacity (CEC) of illite du Puy as a function of background electrolyte …

To ensure the environmental monitoring of nuclear sites, sorption models enabling the
prediction of contaminant migration (such as 90 Sr and 137 Cs) in soils, sediments and …
