Research advances of wastewater containing low concentration uranium by phosphate biomineralization

Abstract:

The biomineralization remediation technology has great value and broad prospect with eco-friendliness, wide sphere of application, and excellent stability on the removal of low concentration uranium-containing wastewater, which has attracted extensive attention of researchers. In this paper, the common microorganism, the mechanism of biomineralization, and the development bottleneck of biomineralization are respectively introduced, and then the enhancement of biomineralization is prospected from the aspects of microbial community regulation and solution parameters, to provide new ideas and technologies for the treatment of uranium-containing wastewater in the future.

Key words:biomineralization, mechanism of action, influencing factors, strengthening process
