After a nuclear accident like Fukushima, the radioactive cesium 137 is transported from the atmosphere to the soil by rain water. Clays are mineral species which are naturally present in soils. These micrometric minerals (1- 100 µm) are very efficient and selective adsorbents for Cs ions. The objective of this PhD thesis is to look at the feasibility of a process called flotation to selectively extract these contaminated clay particles and to reduce the volume of soil to store. Flotation consists in separating minerals according to their surface properties. The most hydrophobic particles are collected by air bubbles and are transported up to the froth whereas the hydrophilic particles remain in the suspension. Cationic surfactants are emplo...
