Environmental contamination caused by radionuclides, in particular by uranium and its
decay products is a serious problem worldwide. The development of nuclear science and …

The presence of uranium in soil and underground water generate an important issue against
public perception on the risk, which the contamination poses to the environmental and …

Uranium contamination of soil has been a major concern with respect to its toxicity,
accumulation in the food chain and persistence in the environment. Owing to these …

Contamination of soil and water with depleted uranium (DU) has increased public health
concerns due to the chemical toxicity of DU at elevated dosages. For this reason, there is …

Radioactive uranium mining and use is increasing with the development of human society,
so the environment is facing increasing radioactive contamination. The remediation …

Uranium is one of the most toxic radionuclide contaminants and is progressively dispersing
in the environment due to the exploration and utilization of nuclear energy. Uranium in the …

Uranium may present in soil as precipitated, sorbed, complexed, and reduced forms, which
impact its mobility and fate in the subsurface soil environment. In this study, a uranium …

While determining the uranium concentration in the rock (background level) and soils on the
Iberian Massif of western Spain, several geochemical anomalies were observed. The …

Uranium (U) was successfully removed from contaminated soils from the Fernald
Environmental Management Project (FEMP) site near Fernald, Ohio. The laboratory column …

Citrate is often used as a complexing agent to mobilize sorbed and precipitated uranium in
both in situ and ex situ extraction of soils and nuclear reactor components. The …
