The attached proposal has recently been funded after an extensive peer review. The unique capabilities of the Subsurface Flow and Transport Experimental Laboratory in the EMSL are needed to complete…

Use of NMR Microscopy to examine the dynamic sub-pore-scale structure of biofilms under growth conditions

Lead Institution

Oregon State University

Principal Investigator

Brian Wood

Project type

Capability Research

We propose to continue our investigation of the use of NMR microscopy for resolving the sub-pore-scale structure of multiphase porous media. These results will provide crucial proof-of-principal…

Formation of Apatite in Hanford Vadose Zone Sediments by Gaseous Injection of Phosphorus Compounds

Principal Investigator

James Szecsody

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Strontium-90 (Sr-90) discharge from past-practice liquid waste disposal sites in the Hanford 100N area have resulted in Sr-90 release to groundwater, Columbia River, and biota on the Columbia River…

Characterization of Iron Sulfide Mineral Phases Associated with the Reductive Sequestration of Technetium

Lead Institution

Oregon Health & Science University

Principal Investigator

Paul Tratnyek

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Under reducing conditions, TcO4- is readily reduced to TcIV, which forms highly insoluble oxides such as TcO2-nH2O, but (re)oxidation of TcIV oxides can lead to remobilization. Under sulfidogenic…
