Sorption when groundwater contaminating by heavy metals and radioactive elements. Uranium
The fifth issue of the series «Sorption processes at contamination of groundwater heavy metals and radioactive elements» is devoted to the study of the adsorption / desorption behavior of uranium. Mechanisms of uranium retention and the effect of soil pH, macrocations, organic and inorganic ligands on adsorption behavior are of interest in this issue.
Biological reduction of uranium is one of the techniques currently studied for in-situ remedia-tion of groundwater and subsurface soil. Reduction of U(VI) in groundwater and soils was investi-gated to verify the presence of bacteria capable to U(VI) reduction.
The review will be useful for professionals modelling processes of heavy metals contamination in aquifer.
