Size Distribution of Radon Progeny Aerosol in the Working Area of a Dry Former Uranium Mine
To provide improved particle size data for reconstructing the radiation dose incurred by Colorado plateau uranium miners, sampling exercises were made in 1988 and 1994 at Twilight Mine in western Colorado, a former uranium mine that is now used as a research and training facility. The strategy was to simulate or approximate some of the conditions to which the miners were exposed, then sample th...
متن کاملBioleaching of Low Grade Uranium Ore of Saghand Mine
This study deals with bioleaching of the low grade uranium ore of Saghand mine in Iran using a mixed culture of mesophilic bacteria (Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans and Leptospirillum ferrooxidans). Experiments were carried out in shaking flask examining the effect of temperature, initial ferrous ion concentration, pulp density and particle size. Variations of ...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of a cephalosporin esterase from Rhodosporidium toruloides.
A novel cephalosporin esterase (EC 3.1.1.41) from Rhodosporidium toruloides was purified to gel electrophoretic homogeneity. The enzyme is a glycoprotein with a molecular mass of 80 kDa. Upon deglycosylation, several forms of the enzyme were observed with a molecular mass range between 60 and 66 kDa. The isoelectric point of the enzyme is approximately 5.6, with the pH optimum for activity occu...
متن کاملDetermination of uranium isotopes (234U, 238U) and natural uranium (U-nat) in water samples by alpha spectrometry
Background: Due to the potential public health effects of releases of uranium to the environment, isotopic determination and measurement of this radionuclide in environmental samples is very important. Achieving this goal, monitoring programs for this radionuclide seems necessary to be applied in many countries. Materials and Methods: The uranium was separated from the water samples using anion...
متن کاملThe Production, Regulation and Extraction of Carotenoids from Rhodosporidium toruloides
Carotenoids are valuable pigments of commercial interest for various health benefits. There is rising demand for natural carotenoids from microorganisms, although the majority of industrially produced carotenoids are currently chemically synthesized. Rhodosporidium toruloides is oleaginous red yeast, which can produce large amounts of carotenoids and lipids simultaneously. It is also able to as...
