Data for three kaolinites show that Cs was preferentially sorbed by kaolinites in NaCl and CaCl 2 solutions. Cesium desorption behavior of kaolinites revealed that a variable proportion, 0–3.5% was strongly held. The Cs desorption behavior as well as the amounts of Cs fixed by kaolinites correlated well with the nature of impurities in them.
