This study compared cesium and selenium adsorptions between biogenic iron oxyhydroxides (BIOS) and synthetic ferrihydrite. Compared to synthetic ferrihydrite, BIOS showed enhanced adsorption for positively-charged cesium whereas decreased adsorption for negatively-charged selenium. This different adsorption of cesium and selenium on BIOS from synthetic ferrihydrite can roughly be explained by the electrostatic effect. On the other hand, adsorption of selenate on BIOS was more strongly inhibited compared to that of selenite, which can be explained by the different mode of attachment on the surface of BIOS.
