Development and characterization of small-scale washing systems for removal of depleted uranium oxides

“…Contaminated soils can be mechanically separated to remove large pieces of zero-valent DU and attached oxides. Chemical extraction techniques can then be used to leach U oxides from contaminated soil fines (Larson et al 2009(Larson et al , 2012McCown et al 2015). This can also potentially reduce costs of remediation (Walters et al 2014).…”
