Biogeochemistry of Uranium in Tropical Environments

Electrodialysis applied to the removal of iron ions in an aqueous solution

“…While it is true that this metal does not represent a health risk, like heavy metals, it can cause aesthetic and organoleptic problems (Ben-Sik-Ali et al, 2013). On the other hand, the presence of this element can promote the generation of acid mine drainage (AMD), which can cause serious environmental impacts, particularly on soil, water resources and aquatic species (Galhardi and Bonotto, 2016). The degree of contamination and environmental repercussions will depend on the content of other elements present in the contaminated water, since an acidic effluent is a potential leaching agent, different ions of other metals can be found.…”
