Description

The green tea leaves was dipped in the 137CsCl solution to elucidate the dissolution behavior of 137Cs contaminated on the green tea leaves. It was found that the amount of 137Cs dissolved into tea water was controlled by the temperature of water, and the activation energy of 137Cs dissolution was estimated to be 0.045 eV, indicating that most of 137Cs would exist as the adsorbed state. In addition, the dissolution behavior was controlled by the concentration of stable Cs dissolved in water, although no large correlation with pH was observed. (author)
