The behaviors of sorption and migration of 137Cs on granites at Shiliuyu and Yangfang have been investigated by the batch technique and the column experiment.The sorption ratios m and sorption equilibrium time are determined. The effects of granite particle size
solid-to-liquid ratio
pH value of simulated groundwater
and Cs concentration on the Cs sorption ratio are studied. The migration of Cs in granite column are investigsted
and the distribution coefficient KD is determined. The results show that the ability of granites at Shihuyu and Yangfang to adsorb Cs is rather weak. Therafore high efficient backfill materials for Cs are necessary if depository is built on the base of granite.
