Funded Activity Summary

Controlling uranium species to its long-term stability in bioremediation. This project aims to reveal the mechanisms of uranium transformation and immobilisation in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions of bioremediation with the emphasis on elucidating stable uranium immobilised under different pathways and conditions. This project expects to generate new knowledge regarding the relationship between uranium speciation and stability with the matrix mineral, microbiota, and environmental conditions. Expected outcomes from this project include new strategies for preferential immobilisation of uranium to stable species that are resistant to air and acid. The anticipated benefits of this project include mitigating uranium contamination and promoting the sustainable development of the uranium industry in Australia.
