Construction of a model organism for performing calcium carbonate precipitation in a porous media reactor

Creator:: Kaufman, Megan J.
Abstract:: Aquifers are an important storage location and source of fresh groundwater. They may become polluted by a number of contaminants including mobile divalent radionuclides such as strontium-90 which is a byproduct of uranium fission. A method for remediating such divalent radionuclides is sequestration through co-precipitation into calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate...
