DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2023.119918 The environmental behavior of RCs is mainly regulated by the combination of clay minerals and natural weathering processes in soil or sediment. But the interaction of Cs adsorption and micaceous minerals weathering may further enhance the difficulty of interpreting and predicting the environmental behavior of RCs. Based on real environmental scenarios, a research team led by Prof. Fan Qiaohui from the Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources (NIEER) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences systematically investigated interactions between weathering of micaceous minerals and adsorption of RCs to…
