Table D.9. Descriptive statistics of the cesium Freundlich equations (Table D.8)<br />

reported in the literature.<br />

Statistic a b<br />

Using the medians of the a and b parameters from the literature, we come up with the overall<br />

equation:<br />

Cs adsorbed = 0.222(Cs solution) 0.720<br />

This equation is plotted in Figure D.4. Using Cs adsorbed and Cs solution from equation D.3, a K d value<br />

can be calculated according to equations D.4,<br />

K d = Cs adsorbed/Cs solution.<br />

Cesium K d values calculated from Equations D.3 and D.4 are presented in Figure D.5.<br />
