摘要

We developed a bioremediation concept for in situ removal of uranium from ground waters. We studied a former mill tailings site near Tuba City, Arizona where the ground water contains 0.25 mg/L U, 1220 mg NO_3 and 1830 mg/L SO_4. We also tested the possibility of uranium reduction in a nitrate-contaminated (370 mg/L) ground water from an orphan site located in the South Valley of Albuquerque, New Mexico. In this water U(Ⅵ) and SO_4 were added up to 11 and 1234 mg/L, respectively, in the laboratory. Acetate, ethanol and lactate were used as electron donors. Sodium trimetaphosphate was used as phosphorus nutrient for bacterial growth. After complete denitrification by denitrifying bacteria, U(Ⅵ) was reduced to U(Ⅳ) by sulfate reducers. Final U(Ⅵ) concentrations were in the order of 1 μg/L. U(Ⅳ) precipitated as uraninite, UO_2, on bacteria surfaces. Iron sulfide precipitated as a result of Fe(Ⅲ) and SO_4 reduction. Dissolution of uraninite was slow and the long-term concentration of U(Ⅵ) in the sand column effluent is low, between 4 and 7 μg/L. Reoxidation of iron sulfide consumed most of the oxygen from ground water and protected uraninite from oxidation. These results show that U(Ⅵ) reducing bacteria are ubiquitous and can be stimulated by adding electron donors (e.g. ethanol) to the ground water and acceptors (e.g. sulfate) if necessary. Sulfate addition is necessary to reduce uranium in ground water with low sulfate concentration (e.g. <100 mg/L).
