Free and Immobilized Microbial Systems – Potential Effective Radioactive Decontaminators

Popescu, Ioana-Carmen; Milu, Georgiana; Stoica, Mihaela; Crutu, Gheorghe; Militaru, Ecaterina

Pages: 443 –448

[Romanian uranium extractive industry represents the major cause for the environmental radioactive pollution. Radionuclides’ migration into the water and soil generates nutritional imbalances, which cause plants and animals ailment and threats people’s health condition. The biotechnologies based...

Bioleaching of Shale – Impact of Carbon Source

Sjöberg, Viktor; Grandin, Anna; Karlsson, Lovisa; Karlsson, Stefan

Pages: 449 –454

[Bioleaching is often used for processing low-grade shale feedstock and the microbial community used for that purpose is supplied with nutrients such as sugar and/or Fe2+. In the present study, the leaching efficiency was tested when crushed weathered shale was mixed with aspen wood shavings and...

Interactions of Ionic Liquids with Uranium and Its Bioreduction

Zhang, Chengdong; Francis, Arokiasamy J.

Pages: 455 –463

[We investigated the influence of ionic liquids (ILs) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [BMIM]+[PF6]–, N-ethylpyridinium trifluoroacetate [EtPy]+[CF3COO]– and N-ethylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate [EtPy]+[BF4]– on uranium reduction by Clostridium sp. under anaerobic conditions....

Environmental Analysis of Uranium with Recombinant Antibodies

Blake, Diane A.; Zhu, Xiaoxia; Ban, Bhupal

Pages: 467 –476

[The techniques of antibody phage display were used to generate antibody fragments that specifically recognized U(VI) in complex with the chelator, 2,9-dicarboxyl-1,10-phenanthroline (DCP). The single-chain fragment antibodies (scFvs) obtained by these procedures were able to bind to...

The Routine Determination of Uranium Activity in Natural Rocks and Minerals by Gamma Spectrometry

Boujrhal, Fatima Zahra; Cherkaoui El Moursli, Rajaâ

Pages: 477 –481

[Uranium activity in various natural materials is determined by gamma spectrometry. The content of uranium in these materials, can reach some tens ppm, and which is more or less in radioactive equilibrium with its daughters, principally radium and radon (immediate daughter of radium). In this...

Airborne Radiometric Surveying for the Management of Health, Safety and the Environment in the Uranium Mining Industry: Potential Applications and Limitations

Coetzee, Henk; Larkin, James

Pages: 483 –492

[Some requirements for radiological site assessment may be at least partially fulfilled using airborne radiometric surveys. These include the identification of contaminated areas and the quantification and characterization of radionuclide contamination, as well as the identification of pollution...

Coca-Cola® for Determining Bioaccessible Uranium in Contaminated Mine Soils

Lottermoser, Bernd; Schnug, Ewald; Haneklaus, Silvia

Pages: 493 –498

[There is an increasing need for low-cost soil testing procedures that accurately determine the bioaccessibility of metals in contaminated land. This study demonstrates that the use of Coca-Cola Classic® in single extraction tests provides an excellent indication of bioaccessible U in...

Development of an Immunochromatographic Strip for Rapid, Instrument-Free, On-Site Detection of Uranium

Zhu, Xiaoxia; Ban, Bhupal; Yang, Xiaoxi; Shevkoplas, Sergey S.; Blake, Diane A.

Pages: 499 –504

[A one-step assay has been developed for on-site detection of environmental uranium. A monoclonal antibody with specificity for U(VI) complexed to 2,9-dicarboxyl-1,10-phenanthroline (DCP) was conjugated to colloidal gold and subsequently mixed with a sample containing U(VI) and DCP. The mixture...

Ecotoxicity of Uranium in Freshwaters: Influence of the Physico-Chemical Status of the Rivers

Beaugelin-Seiller, Karine; Février, Laureline; Gilbin, Rodolphe; Garnier-Laplace, Jacqueline

Pages: 507 –515

[As uranium speciation, and then its bioavailability, is highly variable in the range of the physico-chemistry of freshwaters, determining environmental protection criteria for generic ecosystems, i.e. without considering these processes, may lead to very low values. Based on the most recent...

Radiological Impact Assessment of Mining Activities in the Wonderfonteinspruit Catchment Area, South Africa

Barthel, Rainer

Pages: 517 –527

[An assessment of radiological impacts of gold mining activities in the Wonderfonteinspruit Catchment Area (WCA) was carried out on behalf of the National Nuclear Regulator (NNR) of South Africa. The radiological risks in the WCA comprise both the effects of current mine water discharges and...
