Tobermorites: A New Family of Cation Exchangers

SRIDHAR KOMARNENI 1 and DELLA M. ROY 1

1 Materials Research Laboratory, Pennsylvania State University, University Park 16802

Tobermorites have cation-exchange and selectivity properties intermediate between those of clay minerals and zeolites. Aluminum-substituted tobermorites in particular show high selectivity for cesium. This new group of cation exchangers may find applications in catalysis and in nuclear and hazardous waste disposal.
