TLDR
In this article, the authors investigated the kinetic effect of specific adsorption interactions on the chemical reduction of uranyl (UVIO22+) by ferrous iron, and derived a rate law for surface-catalyzed U(VI) reduction by Fe(II), d[U(VI)] dt =−k[≡ Fe III OFe II OH 0 ][U( VI)] ads where the bimolecular rate constant k has a value of 399 ± 25 M−1 min−1 at 25°C.

Influence of microorganisms on uranium release from mining-impacted lake sediments under various oxygenation conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper , the effect of microbially mediated processes on the behavior of U under O2 reoxidation events such as water table fluctuations was investigated, and it was shown that non-uraninite U(IV) species may be especially sensitive to re-oxidation and remobilization processes.

Performance Indicators for Uranium Bioremediation in the Subsurface: Basis and Assessment

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify performance indicators for in situ engineered bioremediation of subsurface uranium (U) contamination, focusing on in situ treatment of groundwater by biostimulation of extant in situ microbial populations.

Chromium Reduction via a Semi-Conducting Hematite Electrode: Implications for Microbial Cycling of Metals in Natural Soils

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the Fe mineral conductivity underpinning Fe(II) catalyzed recrystallization can couple the reduction of Cr, a priority metal contaminant, with an electron source that is cannot directly affect Cr. This is shown for both an abiotic electron source, a potentiostat, as well as the metal reducing bacteria Shewanella Putrefaciens.

Uranium solution-mineral equilibria at low temperatures with applications to sedimentary ore deposits

TL;DR: The Gibbs free energies, enthalpies and entropies of 42 dissolved uranium species and 30 uranium-bearing solid phases have been critically evaluated from the literature and estimated when necessary for 25°C.
