An experiment was conducted with subsurface sediments from Oak Ridge National Laboratory to determine the potential for reduction of U(VI) under sulfate-reducing conditions with either ethanol or acetate as the electron donor. The results showed extensive U(VI) reduction in sediments supplied with either electron donor, where geochemical and microbiological analyses demonstrated active sulfate reduction.
一项实验使用橡树岭国家实验室的地下沉积物进行,以确定在硫酸盐还原条件下,使用乙醇或乙酸作为电子供体还原 U(VI)的潜力。结果表明,在提供电子供体的沉积物中,U(VI)的还原程度很大,地球化学和微生物学分析表明硫酸盐还原是活跃的。
