It is generally believed that the four-valent uranium forms a refractory species, resulting in uranium being fixed under reduction conditions.
Here we introduce mobile U (IV)-
The general assumption of carrying a gel in the environment is questioned.
We study the mobility of uranium in mining.
Affected wetlands in France have a uranium concentration of up to 14,000. p. m.
Since it is possible to observe the obvious release of uranium into streams passing through the wetland, we studied the composition of soil and porewater as a function of depth to assess the geophysical conditions leading to such release.
Analysis shows that U exists (IV)
As non in soil
Crystal species bound with amorphous Al-P-Fe-
Si is a unique species associated with Fe and organic colloid, as well as in porewater.
These results prove that U (IV)
In these soils, it is associated with a moving porewater gel that is eventually released into surface water.
The stream flowing through the wetland is shallow and the maximum depth is about 20 cuccm.
Sample the stream water from a depth of about 10 cuccm.
Samples were taken in different locations in April, November 2011 and July 2012, each of which was divided into two parts, one with pH (
