Reduction of Technetium by Fe(II) associated with reduced clay mineral nontronite

Lead Institution

Miami University

Principal Investigator

Hailiang Dong

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Because clay and clay-like minerals are commonly present at DOE sites (smectite, illite, chlorite, biotite), and they are potential backfill materials for nuclear waste repositories, the interaction…

Reactivity of iron-bearing phyllosilicates with uranium and chromium through redox transitions zones

Lead Institution

Miami University

Principal Investigator

Hailiang Dong

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Iron-bearing phyllosilicate minerals are widely distributed and often account for about half of the iron in soils and sediments. They play an important role in environmental processes such as…
