The green tea leaf was dipped in the CsCl solution to elucidate the dissolution behavior of Cs. The IP observation showed that Cs was not uniformly adsorbed on the tea leaf, even if the tea leaf was dipped in the homogeneous solution. The activation energy of Cs dissolution was estimated to be 0.045 eV, indicating that most of Cs would exist as the adsorbed state. The dissolution behaviors as a function of cesium and potassium concentrations and pH, were also studied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
