Abstract

The safe disposal of 60Co, 63Ni, and 59Ni has required considerable information on the interactions of Co2+ and Ni2+ with clay minerals in the geosphere. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) has been used to probe the sorption sites for Co2+ and Ni2+ on hectorite and montmorillonite. The spectra were measured for Co-hectorite, Ni-hectorite, and Ni-montmorillonite immediately following ion exchange and after washing the clay two and five times with distilled water. The spectra, recorded following etching of the surface with an argon ion beam, differentiate two sorption sites; a labile (to washing) fraction sorbed as ion pairs, and a non-labile fraction sorbed by ion exchange at broken bond and interlamellar sites. The data were consistent with the sorption of metal ions (Co2+, Ni2+) in a common “MO6” ligand environment.

Co2+ had a greater affinity for exchange on hectorite than did Ni2+; but Ni2+ had a greater affinity for the surface of montmorillonite than for hectorite. The argon ion etching of Ni-montmorillonite gave rise to a new photopeak of 853 eV, which was probably due to elemental Ni formed consequent to the chemical violation of the surface by ion etching.
