Abstract
SEVERAL recent reports1–5 show that micas and vermiculite exhibit a strong affinity for caesium in dilute solutions. These sorptions, however, have been carried out in the presence of free electrolyte and the quantities sorbed were measured after equilibrium was reached. This communication describes an unusual time course of sorption of caesium by vermiculite in the absence of free electrolyte.
