Understanding the speciation and fate of radium during operational discharge from the
offshore oil and gas industry into the marine environment is important in assessing its long …

Studies by the US Geological Survey (USGS) of uranium mill tailings (UMT) have focused on
characterizing the forms in which radionuclides are retained and identifying factors …

As with other metals, the management of tailings from former uranium (U) mines requires a
good knowledge of the geochemical mechanisms governing the retention of radioelements …

Abstract 226 Ra is an ultra-trace element with important environmental implications for many
industries (including water treatment and oil and mineral extraction). Its extremely low …

Barite is ubiquitous and known to incorporate 226Ra through the formation of a solid-
solution. In U mining mill tailings, barite is one of the dominant sulfate-binding minerals. In …

This study combines in situ gamma spectrometry performed at different scales, in order to
accurately locate the contamination pools, to identify the concerned radionuclides and to …

Determination of Metals in Natural and Treated Waters draws together all the available
literature and presents in a systematic fashion the latest analytical techniques for detecting …

[en] Surface water, next to groundwater, is undoubtedly the most important medium in the
transport, concentration and dispersion of radium on the Earth. Our knowledge of radium …

A study of the 226 Ra contamination of the river sediments surrounding the Brazilian
uranium mining and milling facilities was carried out. The nondetrital 226 Ra concentrations …

Solubility of 226Ra in sediments contaminated by produced water discharges was
investigated using integrated microcosm, geochemical modelling and field sampling …
