Abstract

Ion-exchange sorption of cerium (III) ions from aqueous solutions of cerium sulphate by natural morednite-containing tufa was studied under the static conditions. Quantitative extraction of cerium from diluted (<0.003 mol/l) solutions was established. It was stated that an increase in the solution concentration causes a decrease in the sorption capacity of tufa. Isotherms of absorption of cerium ions were plotted; the kinetic parameters of the sorption process were determined.
