What is Phosphate-Mediated Plutonium Removal about?
This document describes a study that used a Citrobacter species to remove lanthanum, uranium, and thorium from aqueous solutions through a phosphatase-mediated process of forming metal phosphate minerals on the cell surface. The study also used lanthanum, uranium, and thorium as analogues to develop a method for removing plutonium from nuclear waste solutions. Key findings included that lanthanum phosphate accumulated preferentially over uranium or thorium phosphates, and thorium removal was promoted in the
