Mechanism, advantages and disadvantages of bioremediation of uranium in wastewater containing uranium

Mechanism	Advantage	Disadvantage
Biosorption	There are many kinds of microorganisms available, fast adsorption rate and large capacity	The product is unstable and desorption occurs after adsorption
Bioreduction	Using the principle of oxidation and reduction, a relatively stable circulation system is formed and contributes to uranium enrichment, and is environmentally frienhment	The product is not stable and is prone to reoxidation under aerobic conditions
Biomineralization	Its product uranyl phosphate is extremely stable and can remove uranium more effectively	Requires the presence of organophosphate to react under the mediation of phosphatase
