Evaluation of rare earth on layered silicates under subcritical conditions: Effect of the framework and interlayer space composition

Clay-based minerals are considered to be an important component in backfill barriers due to both their ability to seal and adsorb radioactive waste and to interact chemically with it under subcritical conditions. Herein, we describe a systematic study of the properties of layered silicates that coul...
