The results show that sorption abil-ities of clinoptilolite and mordenite for Sr are very strong. The R_d of Sr increases with the decreaseof particle size of rock samples,with the increase of liquid-solid ratios( V/m)and with the in-crease of pH value of simulated groundwater.The R_d of Sr decreases with the increase of the con-centration of strontium in simulated groundwater. The migration velocity of Sr in the clinoptilolitecolumn is very small(about3.8×10~(-2)m/a).So that,clinoptilolite and mordenite are ideal back-fill materials for Sr in nuclear waste disposal.Key words Nuclide migration Zeolites ~(90)Sr Sorption ratio
