montmorillonite, corundum, and gibbsite from 0.1 N and 0.01 N CsCl solutions. XPS spectra
for all samples except gibbsite contain strong signals associated with Cs 3d3/2 and 3d5/2
photopeaks. This result indicates that minerals without exchangeable cation sites have a
tendency to sorb Cs on surfaces and along grain boundaries, although less than 1 mol% Cs
is observed on these surfaces. Multiple surface or interlayer sites for Cs cannot be resolved …
