Uranium (U), a highly toxic radionuclide, is becoming a great threat to soil health
development, as returning nuclear waste containing U into the soil systems is increased …

Uranium (U) pollution is an environmental hazard caused by the development of the nuclear
industry. Microbial reduction of hexavalent uranium (U (VI)) to tetravalent uranium (U (IV)) …

Red soil is an important soil resource, which bears substantial implication for sustainable
development of agriculture and healthy growth of economy. However, the red soil in China …

Bacteria may change the physicochemical properties of montmorillonite and further effect
the disposal of high-level radioactive waste. Therefore, we explored the influence of …

The zero-valent iron (ZVI) has attracted increasing attention due to the enhanced reactivity of
ZVI to uranium wastewater. However, ZVI practical application is hampered due to its …

We experimentally determined the magnitude of uranium isotopic fractionation induced by U
(VI) reduction by metal reducing bacterial isolates. Our results indicate that microbial U (VI) …

Until recently, the reduction of U (VI) to U (IV) during bioremediation was assumed to
produce solely the sparingly soluble mineral uraninite, UO 2 (s). However, results from …

Biological reduction of soluble uranium from U (VI) to insoluble U (IV) coupled to the
oxidation of an electron donor (hydrogen or organic compounds) is a potentially cost …

This review starts with the issue of groundwater contamination in uranium mining areas
using acid leaching methods which is threatening drinking water safety, and provides a …

The reduction of soluble hexavalent uranium to tetravalent uranium can be catalyzed by
bacteria and minerals. The end-product of this reduction is often the mineral uraninite, which …
