  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;Samples containing illite and illite-smectite, having different crystal shapes (plates, “barrels”, and filaments), were selected for sorption experiments with cesium. There is a positive correlation between total surface area and Cs-sorption capacity, but no correlation between total surface area and the distribution coefficient, K&lt;sub&gt;d&lt;/sub&gt;. Generally K&lt;sub&gt;d&lt;/sub&gt; increases with the edge surface area, although “hairy” (filamentous) illite does not fit this pattern, possibly because elongation of crystals along one axis reduces the number of specific sorption sites.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
