Mineralogical factors causing underestimation of $$K$$$$_{rm d}$$ values calculated from radiocesium interception potential

Uno, Koichiro*; Nakao, Atsushi*; Okumura, Masahiko   ; Yamaguchi, Akiko  ; Kogure, Toshihiro*; Yanai, Junta*

Radiocesium interception potential (RIP) has been widely used as a quantitative indicator of cesium (Cs) adsorption capacity of soil, but it has been found that RIP does not always correlate with the distribution coefficient ($$K$$$$_{rm d}$$) of Cs in the actual environment. In order to clarify the cause of this discrepancy, we measured Kd using more realistic solutions, compared it with RIP, and evaluated the mineral structure. As a result, it was found that the concentration of competing cations, such as potassium and ammonium ions, and the structural change of the mineral itself are important.
