Anoxic Biodegradation of Isosaccharinic Acids at Alkaline pH by Natural Microbial Communities.

One design concept for the long-term management of the UK's intermediate level radioactive wastes (ILW) is disposal to a cementitious geological disposal facility (GDF). Under the alkaline (10.0<pH>13.0) anoxic conditions expected within a GDF, cellulosic wastes will undergo chemical hydr...
