Table 4: Parameters of selective sorption of Cs-137 by OMA

1 January 2000


Notes: OMA 1 pH 5.8-6.4; OMA 2 pH 6.3-6.7. RIP is a measure of radiocaesium interception potential, defined as a product of frayed edge site capacity and the Cs-to-K selectivity coefficient there [5, 10, 14]; αex is the quantity of exchangeable radionuclide sorbed by OMA, which characterizes its fixing ability [6, 20]; αex/RIP(K)ex is the value that characterizes the availability of Cs-137 for plants [24].
