Abstract The adsorption of Cs + by clay minerals is a complicate process, being cation exchange and frayed-edge sites the major mechanisms that govern it. However, environmental variables have a significant impact on the process. In this work, the influence of the temperature and time in the cesium adsorption capacity of Na-Mica-n (n = 2 and 4) have been explored under subcritical conditions. Those synthetic micas were able to immobilize cations Cs + combining adsorption at nonspecific sites, at specific sites and chemical reaction. The distribution constant of Cs + was larger in the Na-Mica-2 denoting a higher concentration of specific adsorption sites when layer charge decreased.
