Description

Sorptive behaviour of crushed shale, amphibolite and granite gneiss samples with conditioned high level waste with respect to Cs+, Co2+ and Ce3+ have been studied at six different concentrations using batch tests. Maximum sorption capacities have been evaluated with the help of Langmuir equations. Results obtained are discussed in the light of physico-chemical and mineralogical characteristics of the rocks. It has been found from the sorption studies that shale is a better formation for the confinement of these radionuclides compared to amphibolite and granite gneiss. (author). 1 tab., 4 refs
