- Abstract
The article reports on the physicochemical and mineralogical characterization of soil from a field research site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Site characterization is an essential step in determining the feasibility of remedial alternatives at hazardous waste sites. Physico-chemical and mineralogical characterization of uranium-contaminated soils in deeply weathered saprolite at Area 2 of the Department of Energy Field Research Center, was accomplished to examine the feasibility of bioremediation. The results indicate that concentrations of uranium in saprolite were closely related to low pH.
