Results of laboratory experiments with active sulfidogenic biomass suggest that injection of sulfate and a source of carbon could enhance anaerobic microbial activity in and around uranium leach mines leading to in situ immobilization contaminating metals.", optnote="exported from refbase (http://www.uhydro.de/base/show.php?record=197), last updated on Fri, 26 Jan 2024 13:19:04 +0100", issn="0304-386x", opturl="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0304386X9500087W" }
