Abstract

The effect of Bacillus spp. on Re(VII) and Se(IV) diffusion in compacted GMZ bentonite was investigated by a through-diffusion method. Bacillus spp. had no significance effect on the effective diffusion coefficient (De) and the accessible porosity (εacc) of Re(VII), whereas a decrease of De and an increase of distribution coefficient (Kd) were observed for Se(IV). Moreover, Archie’s law and an exponential decay equation were employed to fit the De value of Re(VII) and Se(IV).
