Understanding the artificial mineralized uranite for immobilizing uranium in wastewater

Xingyu Long et al.

Summary: A new artificial mineralization process was proposed to immobilize uranium (U(VI)) for wastewater decontamination by converting U(VI) pollution into natural minerals. The U(VI) removal efficiency reached up to 96% in the three designed systems at pH 5.0. The precipitation of Mg2+, PO43-, and UO22+ into saleeite (Mg(UO2)(PO4)2·10H2O) crystal contributed to UO22+ immobilization in the systems, resulting in negligible U desorption. The understanding of U(VI) immobilization effectiveness and artificial mineralization mechanism provides a promising strategy for U(VI) decontamination in wastewater.
