Abstract: | A comparison was made between the adsorptive behaviors of Cd2+ and UO

relative to two smectites that differed in their ratio of edge sites to fixed-charge sites. Adsorption varied with both pH and ionic strength, consistent with sorptive contributions of ion exchange and coordination reactions to edge hydroxyls. Both clay minerals exhibited a greater affinity for UO

than for Cd2+, and the clay with a higher proportion of edge sites retained both ions more strongly. A computational model including fixed-charge sites and edge hydroxyls resulted in a good prediction of overall UO

and Cd2+ uptake to both smectites. |
