Lian G, An Y, Sun J, Yang B, Shen Z. Effects and driving mechanisms of bioremediation on groundwater after the neutral in situ leaching of uranium. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 946:174406. [PMID: 38964395 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.174406] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2024] [Revised: 06/04/2024] [Accepted: 06/29/2024] [Indexed: 07/06/2024]
Abstract
The remediation of groundwater subject to in situ leaching (ISL) for uranium mining has raised extensive concerns in uranium mill and milling. This study conducted bioremediation through biostimulation and bioaugmentation to the groundwater in an area in northern China that was contaminated due to uranium mining using the CO2 + O2 neutral ISL (NISL) technology. It identified the dominant controlling factors and mechanisms driving bioremediation. Findings indicate that microorganisms can reduce the uranium concentration in groundwater subject to NISL uranium mining to its normal level. After 120 days of bioaugmentation, the uranium concentration in the contaminated groundwater fell to 0.36 mg/L, achieving a remediation efficiency of 91.26 %. Compared with biostimulation, bioaugmentation shortened the remediation timeframe by 30 to 60 days while maintaining roughly the same remediation efficiency. For groundwater remediation using indigenous microbial inoculants, initial uranium concentration and low temperatures (below 15 °C) emerge as the dominant factors influencing the bioremediation performance and duration. In settings with high carbonate concentrations, bioremediation involved the coupling of multiple processes including bioreduction, biotransformation, biomineralization, and biosorption, with bioreduction assuming a predominant role. Post-bioremediation, the relative abundances of reducing microbes Desulfosporosinus and Sulfurospirillum in groundwater increased significantly by 10.56 % and 6.91 %, respectively, offering a sustainable, stable biological foundation for further bioremediation of groundwater.

Synergetic and advanced isotherm investigation for the enhancement influence of zeolitization and β-cyclodextrin hybridization on the retention efficiency of U(vi) ions by diatomite. RSC Adv 2024; 14:8752-8768. [PMID: 38495997 PMCID: PMC10938553 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra08709c] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/03/2024] [Indexed: 03/19/2024] Open
Abstract
In synergetic investigations, the adsorption effectiveness of diatomite-based zeolitic structure (ZD) as well as its β-cyclodextrin (CD) hybrids (CD/ZD) towards uranium ions (U(vi)) was evaluated to examine the influence of the transformation procedures. The retention behaviors and mechanistic processes have been demonstrated through analyzing the steric and energetic factors employing the modern equilibrium approach (a monolayer model with a single energy level). After the saturation phase, the uptake characteristics of U(vi) were dramatically improved to 297.5 mg g-1 after the CD blending procedure versus ZD (262.3 mg g-1) or 127.8 mg g-1. The steric analysis indicated a notable increase in binding site levels after the zeolitization steps (Nm = 85.7 mg g-1) as well as CD implementation (Nm = 91.2 mg g-1). This finding clarifies the reported improvement in the ability of CD/ZD to effectively retain the U(vi) ions. Furthermore, every single active site of the CD/ZD material has the capacity to adsorb around four ions, which are aligned according to a vertical pattern. The energetic aspects, specifically Gaussian energy (<8 kJ mol-1) along with retention energy (<40 kJ mol-1), validate the regulated influences of the physical mechanistic processes. The physical adsorption of U(vi) seems to depend on various intermolecular forces, such as van der Waals forces, in conjunction with zeolitic ion exchanging pathways (0.6-25 kJ mol-1). The thermodynamic assets have been evaluated to confirm the exothermic together with spontaneous adsorption U(vi) by ZD and its blend with CD (CD/ZD).

Abstract
Abstract
Although bioreduction induced by microorganisms has been considered to play an important role in the chemical and migration behaviors of uranium in nature, the accurate determination of tetravalent uranium reduced by microorganisms is still difficult to achieve. In this work, potentiometric titration via K2Cr2O7 was used to quantitatively determine the microorganism reduced tetravalent uranium (U(IV)) for the first time. By evaluating the influence of microorganism substance content on the titration of U(IV), the appropriate determination range of U(IV) and biomass was confirmed, and U(IV) induced by bioreduction in three microorganisms was determined. With this method, U(IV) of more than 0.12 mg in microorganisms can be quantitatively measured with an accuracy of 2.2% and a precision of 1.3%, which has been established with the premise that the pretreatment biomass and quantity of U(IV) are in an appropriate range. Compared with the estimated values via the changes in hexavalent uranium (U(VI)) concentration in the bioreduction system, the results obtained by this method can more accurately reflect the quantity of U(IV) in microorganisms. This work can help us to better understand the bioreduction behavior of uranium in the environment.

Stabilization and mechanism of uranium sequestration by a mixed culture consortia of sulfate-reducing and phosphate-solubilizing bacteria. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 827:154216. [PMID: 35247412 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.154216] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2021] [Revised: 02/24/2022] [Accepted: 02/25/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
In this study, a highly efficient phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) (Pantoea sp. grinm-12) was screened out from uranium (U) tailings, and the carbon and nitrogen sources of mixed culture with sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) were optimized. Results showed that the functional expression of SRB-PSB could be promoted effectively when glucose + sodium lactate was used as carbon source and ammonium nitrate + ammonium sulfate as nitrogen source. The concentration of PO43- in the culture system could reach 107.27 mg·L-1, and the sulfate reduction rate was 81.72%. In the process of biological stabilization of U tailings by mixed SRB-PSB culture system, the chemical form of U in the remediation group was found to transfer to stable state with the extension of remediation time, which revealed the effectiveness of bioremediation on the harmless treatment of U tailings. XRD, FT-IR, SEM-EDS, high-throughput sequencing, and metagenomics were also used to assist in revealing the microstructure and composition changes during the biological stabilization process, and explore the microbial community/functional gene response. Finally, the stabilization mechanism of U was proposed. In conclusion, the stabilization of U in U tailings was realized through the synergistic effect of bio-reduction, bio-precipitation, and bio-adsorption.

Abstract
Radioactive uranium wastewater contains a large amount of radionuclide uranium and other heavy metal ions. The radioactive uranium wastewater discharged into the environment will not only pollute the natural environment, but also threat human health. Therefore, the treatment of radioactive uranium wastewater is a current research focus for many researchers. The treatment in radioactive uranium wastewater mainly includes physical, chemical and biological methods. At present, the using of biological treatment to treat uranium in radioactive uranium wastewater has been gradually shown its superiority and advantages. Deinococcus radiodurans is a famous microorganism with the most radiation resistant to ionizing radiation in the world, and can also resist various other extreme pressures. D. radiodurans can be directly used for the adsorption of uranium in radioactive waste water, and it can also transform other functional genes into D. radiodurans to construct genetically engineered bacteria, and then applied to the treatment of radioactive uranium containing wastewater. Radionuclides uranium in radioactive uranium-containing wastewater treated by D. radiodurans involves a lot of mechanisms. This article reviews currently the application of D. radiodurans that directly or construct genetically engineered bacteria in the treatment of radioactive uranium wastewater and discusses the mechanism of D. radiodurans in bioremediation of uranium. The application of constructing an engineered bacteria of D. radiodurans with powerful functions in uranium-containing wastewater is prospected.

Isolation and Identification of Uranium Tolerant Phosphate-Solubilizing Bacillus spp. and Their Synergistic Strategies to U(VI) Immobilization. Front Microbiol 2021; 12:676391.

Abstract
The remediation of uranium (U) through phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) is an emerging technique as well as an interesting phenomenon for transforming mobile U into stable minerals in the environment. While studies are well needed for in-depth understanding of the mechanism of U(VI) immobilization by PSB. In this study, two PSB were isolated from a U-tailing repository site. These bacterial strains (ZJ-1 and ZJ-3) were identified as Bacillus spp. by the sequence analysis of 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. Incubation of PSB in liquid medium showed that the isolate ZJ-3 could solubilize more than 230 mg L-1 P from glycerol-3-phosphate and simultaneously removed over 70% of 50 mg L-1 U(VI) within 1 h. During this process, the rapid appearance of yellow precipitates was observed. The microscopic and spectroscopic analysis demonstrated that the precipitates were associated with U-phosphate compound in the form of saleeite-like substances. Besides, scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis of the precipitates confirmed that the extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) might also play a key role in U sequestration. Furthermore, SEM and FTIR analysis revealed that part of U(VI) was adsorbed on the bacterial surface through cellular phosphate, hydroxy, carboxyl, and amide groups. This study provides new insights into the synergistic strategies enhancing U immobilization rates by Bacillus spp. that uses glycerol-3-phosphate as the phosphorus source, the process of which contributes to harmful pollutant biodegradation.

Abstract
The chitosan chains were integrated with MCM-48 mesoporous silica in an eco-friendly composite (CH/MCM-48) of enhanced adsorption capacity. The prepared CH/MCM-48 composite was applied in systematic retention of U (VI) as well as Sr (II) ions from water as the commonly detected radioactive pollutants. It displayed promising retention capacities of 261.3 mg/g and 328.6 mg/g for U (VI) and Sr (II) considering the equilibrium time interval that was identified after 420 min. The composite showed the kinetic behavior of the Pseudo-First order model and the isotherm properties of the Langmuir assumption. The thermodynamic assessment of the reactions validated the retention of both U (VI) and Sr (II) ions by spontaneous, favorable, and exothermic reactions. Based on the theoretical values of entropy (-5.94 kJ mol-1 (U (VI)) and -2.93 kJ mol-1 (Sr (II))), Gibbs free energy (less than 20 kJ mol-1), and Gaussian energy (5.77 kJ mol-1 (U (VI)) and 4.56 kJ mol-1 (Sr (II))) the uptake processes are related to physical adsorption reactions. The CH/MCM-48 composite is of significant recyclability and showed considerable affinities for the studied radioactive ions even in the presence of other metal ions (Cd (II), Pb (II), Zn (II), and Co (II)).
