Influence of soil/solution ratio on adsorption behavior of cesium on soils

ABSTRACT

The influence of the ratio between soil weight and solution volume (soil/solution ratio) on a distribution coefficient of cesium for coastal sandy soil, kaoline and silica sand to water has been studied. The distribution coefficients of 137Cs for the soils decreased with the increase of the soil/solution ratios. The concentration of the cations dissolved from the soils into the solution varied with the soil/solution ratio. However, when the concentration of coexistent cations kept to be 10–2 mol/l, the distribution coefficient was kept constant at different soil/solution ratios. These results show that the soil/solution ratio does not directly affect on the adsorption of 137Cs on the soils, but the variation in the concentration of dissolved cations with the soil/solution ratio results in the change in the distribution coefficient.
