Abstract
tium on vermiculite and ZrMV increased with increase in pH and lowering concentration of Sr 2+ . The rate of uptake of strontium by ZrMV was found to be much faster than that for vermiculite. The distribution coefficient of strontium on ZrMV is of the order of 10 4 mL/g at pH 3, and the amount of strontium sorbed on ZrMV was always found to be much higher than that on the parent clay. The sorption data were fitted to Langmuir adsorption model for obtaining the sorption capacity of the sorbent. Increase of temperature increases the distribution coefficient of strontium on both ZrMV and vermiculite. Distribution of strontium on ZrMV was also determined from the groundwater samples obtained from the waste disposal site at Kalpakkam.
