Abstract

The isotherm of cesium sorption by an inorganic sorbent based on granulated glauconite obtained in a wide cesium concentrations range was mathematically treated using Langmuir, Freundlich and Redlich-Peterson sorption models. The algorithms of mathematical treatment of experimental data using these models were described; parameters of all isotherms were determined. It was shown that estimating the correctness of various sorption models relies not only on the correlation coefficient values but also on the closeness of the calculated and experimental data. Various types of sorption sites were found as a result of mathematical treatment of the isotherm of cesium sorption. The algorithm was described and calculation of parameters of the isotherm was performed under the assumption that simultaneous sorption on all three types of sorption sites occurs in accordance with Langmuir isotherm.
