Cold trap removal helps advance DOE site cleanup

Cleanup efforts at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant took a significant step forward late last month when the first of 22 cold traps used in the uranium-enrichment process was shipped off-site. During the plant’s uranium-enrichment years, cold traps supported various processes, including activities at the C-410 feed plant. That 5-acre facility […]

Common fungi can breathe life back into land rendered barren near mining sites

Removal of Fluoride from Drinking Water by Sorption Using Diatomite Modified with Aluminum Hydroxide.

Exposure to fluoride beyond the recommended level for longer duration causes both dental and skeletal fluorosis. Thus, the development of cost-effective, locally available, and environmentally benign adsorbents for fluoride removal from contaminated water sources is absolutely required. In the present study, diatomaceous earth (diatomite) locally available in Ethiopia, modified by treating it with an aluminum […]
