Rapid mobilization of noncrystalline U(IV) coupled with FeS oxidation

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Malgorzata Alicja Stylo

The reactivity of disordered, noncrystalline U(IV) species remains poorly characterized despite their prevalence in biostimulated sediments. Because of the lack of crystalline structure, noncrystalline U(IV) may be susceptible to oxidative mobilization und ...
