A technique for volume reduction and recycle of cesium contaminated soil in combination with wet classification and high gradient magnetic separation was investigated. The magnetic separation can fractionate the fine soil particles (silt and clay) into high-dose and low-dose soil. This method utilizes the phenomenon that paramagnetic 2:1 clay strongly adsorbs cesium whereas diamagnetic 1:1 clay has low adsorption ability of cesium. One of the main issues in this technique is that the soil components are aggregated by organic matters, which prevents 2:1 type clay minerals from selective separation. In this study, pretreatment of the soil by K$$_{2}$$CO$$_{3}$$ solution was conducted, prior to the magnetic separation, in order to disperse aggregates. As a result, further selective separation for 2:1 type clay minerals by the pretreatment was confirmed.
