Abstract:
      With the rapid development of nuclear industry in China, the exploitation of uranium resources keeps increasing, which brings a large amount of uranium tailings accumulation, resulting in the rapid increase of uranium and its compounds in the surrounding environment, and causing environmental pollution. Therefore, how to deal with uranium pollution safely and efficiently has become an environmental problem that cannot be ignored. The traditional remediation technologies for uranium polluted environment mostly adopt physical, chemical and other methods, but these remediation technologies have the limitations of high cost and easy to cause secondary environmental pollution. The emergence of microbial remediation technology can provide a green, economic, stable and sustainable remediation method for uranium polluted environment. Firstly, the harm of uranium in the environment was introduced, the mechanism of microbial remediation technology of uranium polluted environment was elaborated, and the influencing factors of microbial remediation technology of uranium polluted environment were analyzed. Finally, the existing problems of microbial remediation technology of uranium polluted environment were pointed out, and the prospect was put forward, which provides a direction for further optimization of uranium pollution remediation technology.
