J. %T Mechanism of uranium fixation by zero valent iron: the importance of co-precipitation %B Uranium in the aquatic environment %D 2002 %R 10.23689/fidgeo-2438 %I Springer %X The coprecipitation of U (VI) with iron corrosion products from aqueous solutions by zero valent iron was investigated. The evidence of coprecipitation was demonstrated by conducting experiments with well characterized scrap iron,pyrite and a mixture of both materials with experimental durations of up to four months. Results indicate that under anoxic conditions only less than one tenth of the immobilized U(VI) was associated with the surface of scrap iron, whereas theremaining amount is entrapped in aging corrosion products. %U http://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gldocs-11858/6751 %~ FID GEO-LEO e-docs
