Progress of Uranium-Contaminated Soil Bioremediation Technology
Progress of Uranium-Contaminated Soil Bioremediation Technology

Kelas : Mikrobiologi Lingkungan TL C
Uranium is a dense, hard silvery white metal. Uranium is the highest atomic number in nature. The
widespread use of uranium, which seriously pollutes the surrounding soil and water, poses severe
healthy risk to residents. Therefore, for uranium contamination, we should consider the
concentration, dose rate of uranium in the surrounding soil where the in habitants live and explore
effective soil remediation techniques, in order to put forward better suggestions for citizens.
(i) Separation of uranium, the use of engineering physical, chemical or biological methods to reduce
the total amount of uranium directly in the soil.
(ii) Fixation of uranium, by changing the form of uranium in the soil or the combination with the soil,
to reduce the uranium transportability
4. Conclusion
From the perspective of current research hot spots, bioremediation has some advantages, such as simple
operation, low cost, environmental friendliness and so on. It has become the current prospect technology
for repairing uranium-contaminated soil compared with other physical and chemical methods.
Bioremediation is also the key focus of future research. However, there are still some problems in
bioremediation technology, such as soil type, presence of organic matter, co-ions along with soil pH and
uranium species could affect the efficiency of any strategy used.
