The Research on the Distribution Characteristics of Heavy Metals in Uranium Mines Soil

Abstract:

A typical paddy field downstream of uranium tailing reservoir was selected to study the distribution of heavy metal and the correlativity of uranium. The results showed that the content of heavy metals in soil has a gradual decreasing trend with increasing distance from the tailings. The contents of Cu、Cd are directly proportional to the vertical depth, the content of Cr is inversely proportional to the vertical depth. Meanwhile, the content of uranium is evidently correlated with Cu and Cr and no correlativity with Cd.
