Sorption of cesium Bentonite structure:
• Layer sites – permanent negative charge cation
sorption, weak bond of cesium desorption of cesium from
bentonite and follow sorption on granite.
• Freyed edge sites (FES) – surface complexation, less
available but highly selective sites strong bond of cesium.
Different mechanism of Cs and Sr sorption
on colloid particles
The minor part of 137Cs is strongly sorbed
on freyed edge site and passed through
granite with colloids.
Most cesium was desorbed from layer sites
of montmorillonite on granite.

Colloid mobility controlling processes Clay colloids as radionuclide (RN) carriers?
Is there an upper bound for colloids-mediated transport?
• RN transport through granite in presence of bentonite colloids was faster than RN
transport in distilled water without presence of bentonite colloids. • Colloids carried RN further in column with earlier breakthrough.
• Influence of liquid phase composition • RN transport in SGW is significantly faster than RN tranport in distilled water.
• Competition of other ions with RN at sorption sites.

Retention processes Can retardation of colloids in the far field cause the delay of RN arrival in biosphere?
• The colloids migration in presence of RN was slightly slower than transport without
presence of RN.
• The delay of RN caused by retardation of colloids in granite was not observed.
• On the contrary, the colloid particles speed up the RN transport in granite.

Radionuclide sorption Equilibrium sorption of radionuclides (RN) onto mobile colloids.
Reversible, linear sorption of radionuclides on colloids?
• The sorption of RN onto mobile colloids was confirmed.
• Time of equilibration: 7 days
• V (colloids) : V (RN) = 1:1
• Separation of phases: centrifugation
• Sr-colloids: 80% of 85Sr was sorbed on bentonite colloids

Radionuclide sorption Equilibrium sorption of radionuclides (RN) onto mobile colloids.
Reversible, linear sorption of radionuclides on colloids?
• The linearity of RN sorption on colloids depends on the specific radionuclide.
• Cesium: concentration dependance
• non-linear sorption at tracer Cs concentration
• linear sorption at higher Cs concentration (> 1e-6 mol/l)
• Strontium: linear sorption in the wide range of concentration
