Effective cesium removal from Cs-containing water using chemically activated opaline mudstone mainly composed of opal-cristobalite/tridymite (opal-CT)

Abstract Opaline mudstone (OM) composed of opal-CT (SiO2·nH2O) has high potential use as a cesium (Cs) adsorbent, due to its high specific surface area (SSA). The objective of this study was to investigate the Cs adsorption capacity of chemically activated OM and the adsorption mechanism based on it...
