Persistence of the isotopic signature of pentavalent uranium in magnetite

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Barbora Bártová, Zezhen Pan

Uranium isotopic signatures can be harnessed to monitor the reductive remediation of subsurface contamination or to reconstruct paleo-redox environments. However, the mechanistic underpinnings of the isotope fractionation associated with U reduction remain ...

Implantation of Bacillus pseudomycoides Chromate Transporter Increases Chromate Tolerance in Bacillus subtilis

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Barbora Bártová, Imrich Barak, Zuzana Chromiková

Chromium of anthropogenic origin contaminates the environment worldwide. The toxicity of chromium, a group I human carcinogen, is greatest when it is in a hexavalent oxidation state, Cr(VI). Cr(VI) is actively transported into the cell, triggering oxidativ ...

Nanoscale mechanism of UO2 formation through uranium reduction by magnetite

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Barbora Bártová, Zezhen Pan

Uranium (U) is a ubiquitous element in the Earth's crust at similar to 2 ppm. In anoxic environments, soluble hexavalent uranium (U(VI)) is reduced and immobilized. The underlying reduction mechanism is unknown but likely of critical importance to explain ...

Effect of Aging on the Stability of Microbially Reduced Uranium in Natural Sediment

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Barbora Bártová, Yuheng Wang, Luca Loreggian, Sophie Louise Bretagne, Agnès Novotny

Reductive immobilization of uranium has been explored as a remediation strategy for the U-contaminated subsurface. Via the in situ biostimulation of microbial processes, hexavalent U is reduced to less soluble tetravalent species, which are immobilized wit ...

Colloidal Size and Redox State of Uranium Species in the Porewater of a Pristine Mountain Wetland

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Barbora Bártová, Manon Frutschi, Gabrielle Dublet, Ashley Richards Brown, Giada Chantal Zünd

Uranium (U) speciation was investigated in anoxically preserved porewater samples of a natural mountain wetland in Gola di Lago, Ticino, Switzerland. U porewater concentrations ranged from less than 1 mu g/L to tens of mu g/L, challenging the available ana ...

Products of in situ corrosion of depleted uranium ammunition in Bosnia and Herzegovina soils

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Barbora Bártová, Yuheng Wang, Konstantin von Gunten

Hundreds of tons of depleted uranium (DU) ammunition were used in previous armed conflicts in Iraq, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia/Kosovo. The majority (>90%) of DU penetrators miss their target and, if left in the environment, corrode in these postcon ...

Variability in DPA and calcium content in the spores of Clostridium species

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Barbora Bártová, Imrich Barak, Zuzana Chromiková, Cornelia List, Jan Jamroskovic

Spores of a number of clostridia' species, and their resistance to thermal treatment is a major concern for the food industry. Spore resistance to wet heat is related to the level of spore hydration, which is inversely correlated with the content of calciu ...

Evaluation of Young's modulus of MgB2 filaments in composite wires for the superconducting links for the high-luminosity LHC upgrade

Barbora Bártová

MgB2 wire is a promising superconductor for the superconducting links for the high-luminosity upgrade of the large Hadron collider at CERN. The mechanical properties of MgB2 must be fully quantified for the cable design, and in this study, we evaluate the ...

Degradation of the Cu Residual Resistivity Ratio in Cr-Plated Composite Nb3Sn Wires

Marco Cantoni, Barbora Bártová, Luca Bottura

Some of the bronze-route Nb3Sn wires produced for the ITER toroidal field magnets have values of the Cu residual resistivity ratio (RRR) lower than the specification (RRR > 100) when reacted with the longest ITER heat treatment cycle (cycle A: high-tempera ...
