Uranium and Thorium Upake by Live and Dead Cells of Bacillus Sp
نویسنده
چکیده
Bacillus Sp. was isolated near the mining area and was studied for biosorption U and Th. This study presents uptake of uranium (U) and thorium (Th) by live and dead cells of Bacillus Sp. Increasing concentration of U and Th showed decrease in absorption by Bacillus Sp. Dead cells of Bacillus Sp. exhibited same or more uptake of U and Th than living cells. Increasing temperature promotes uptake of U and Th by Bacillus Sp.

Investigation of the required thickness of thorium spent fuel lead transport cask depending on different fuel burnups and cooling times
Thorium fuels have attracted researcher’s attention due to the reduction of uranium deposits in the world, more abundances than uranium, and the ability to be breeding in thermal and fast reactors. This study aimed to investigate the radiation safety and the amount of necessary shielding for the transportation of spent thorium fuel in the Tehran Research Reactor. The ORIGEN and MCNPX computatio...

One of the main characteristics of heavy water research reactors is their high production of plutonium. This work demonstrates the possibility of reduction of plutonium production and other actinides in heavy water research reactors. Among the many ways for reducing plutonium production in a heavy water reactor, in this research, changing the fuel from natural uranium to thorium-uranium mixed f...

The objective of the current study was to evaluate the reproducibility of a reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR)-based technique to differentiate viable and dead Salmonella cells in raw and sterilized milk. The microorganism was initially inoculated into the milk samples followed by incubating at 37°C for 4 h prior to inactivation by heat at 80°C for 10 min. The treated and non-treated samples we...

New actinide borates ThB4O8 and UB4O8 were synthesized under high-pressure, high-temperature conditions (5.5 GPa/1100 °C for thorium borate, 10.5 GPa/1100 °C for the isotypic uranium borate) in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus from their corresponding actinide oxide and boron oxide. The crystal structure was determined on basis of single-crystal X-ray diffraction data that were collected at r...
متن کاملSimultaneous spectrophotometric determination of uranium and thorium by flow injection analysis using selective masking.
A flow injection system for the simultaneous determination of uranium and thorium has been developed by using selective masking and a spectrophotometric detector with two flow cells aligned with the same optical path. The injected sample solution was first mixed with a reagent solution containing Chromazurol S (CAS) and cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTMAC), and the total absorbance of uraniu...
