The Fixation of Caesium on Australian Minerals. Part 1, Vermiculite Minerals

Description: Samples of vermiculite from Young River, W.A., and Kingaroy, Qld., have tested for cation exchange capacity using batch and column experiments. The better material, Young River vermiculite, was given more exhaustive column tests to determine the optimum particle size and to investigate its selectivity for caesium ions in the presence of higher concentrations of competing ions. At the optimum particle size of (-30+60) B.S.S. the cation exchange capacity of Young River vermiculite was approximate… more

The Fixation of Caesium on Australian Minerals. Part 2, Zeolite Minerals

Description: Samples from possible zoolite bearing deposits have been tested for cation exchange capacity using batch and column experiments. The best material, Eagleton Quarry pink shale, was given more exhaustive column tests to determine the effect of mineral particle size, influent flowrate, and the presence of competing cations on caseium breakthrough. Diffusion of caesium ions through the mineral particle controls the ion exchange process. At the optimum size of (-30+36) B.S.S. the cation exchange cap… more
