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.

Effect of Solution and Solid-Phase Conditions on the Fe(II)-Accelerated Transformation of Ferrihydrite to Lepidocrocite and Goethite

TL;DR: The first detailed study of the kinetics of the Fe(II)-accelerated transformation of ferrihydrite to goethite, via lepidocrocite, for a range of pH and Fe( II) concentrations is presented and insight is provided into the factors controlling the transformation rate and the processes responsible for transformation.

Enumeration and Characterization of Iron(III)-Reducing Microbial Communities from Acidic Subsurface Sediments Contaminated with Uranium(VI)

TL;DR: Results from a combination of cultivation-based and cultivation-independent approaches indicate that the abundance/community composition of Fe(III)-reducing consortia in subsurface sediments is dependent upon geochemical parameters (pH, nitrate concentration) and that microorganisms capable of producing spores (gram positive) or spore-like bodies (Anaeromyxobacter) were representative of acidic subsurfaced environments.

Influence of Biogenic Fe(II) on Bacterial Crystalline Fe(III) Oxide Reduction

TL;DR: The data on bacterial goethite reduction suggest that this phenomenon cannot universally explain the low microbial reducibility of this mineral, and two different mechanisms whereby accumulation of Fe(II) coatings on Fe( III) oxide and FeRB surfaces may lead to inhibition of enzymatic Fe(III) oxide reduction activity are identified and discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The application of zero-valent iron nanoparticles for the remediation of a uranium-contaminated waste effluent

TL;DR: The efficient uptake and retention of U on the INP for periods up to 48 h provide proof that INP may be effectively used for the remediation of complex U-contaminated effluents.
