DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/827181· OSTI ID:827181

Determine microbiological and geochemical controls on carbonate mineral precipitation reactions, and identify contributions of these processes to the solid phase capture of strontium and other metal/radionuclide contaminants. The study is relevant to the development of new clean-up strategies for DOE sites where strontium and other metal/radionuclides exist as ubiquitous and often mobile contaminants.
