    U(VI) Reduction in Sulfate-Reducing Subsurface Sediments Amended with Ethanol or Acetate
    (American Society of Microbiology, 2013) Converse, Brandon J.; Wu, Tao; Findlay, Robert H.; Rodena, Eric E.; University of Wisconsin Madison; University of Alabama Tuscaloosa
    An experiment was conducted with subsurface sediments from Oak Ridge National Laboratory to determine the potential for reduction of U(VI) under sulfate-reducing conditions with either ethanol or acetate as the electron donor. The results showed extensive U(VI) reduction in sediments supplied with either electron donor, where geochemical and microbiological analyses demonstrated active sulfate reduction.
