Carbonate dramatically affects the adsorption of uranium (U(VI)) onto iron hydroxides and its mobility in the natural environment. Batch tests, zeta potential measurements, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic ...

Groundwater contamination with depleted uranium (DU) is a concern in many areas where uranium mining or uranium processing and recycling have occurred. Uranium typically migrates with groundwater as uranyl carbonates and ...
