Characterisation data for sediments collected from Peel Place Quarry, Cumbria, UK – A Sellafield nuclear site analogue

The data contained in this repository describes biogeochemical and physicochemical characterisation data in samples collected from adjacent to the United Kingdom’s Sellafield Nuclear Site. It includes particle size distribution and textural classification, pH measurements, water and organic carbon content (loss on ignition), BET surface area, bioavailability of iron, cation exchange, permeability measurements, X-ray analysis for phase (X-ray diffraction, XRD) and element (X-ray fluorescence, XRF) identification, ion chromatography, thin sectioning and 16S Ribosomal (rRNA) gene analysis.本数据集仓库收录的数据，为英国塞拉菲尔德核设施周边采集的样品的生物地球化学与物理化学表征数据。该数据集涵盖粒径分布与结构分类、pH值测定、含水量与有机碳含量（灼烧减重法）、BET比表面积、铁的生物有效性、阳离子交换、渗透性测定；同时包含用于物相（X射线衍射，XRD）与元素（X射线荧光光谱，XRF）鉴定的X射线分析、离子色谱法、薄片制备技术以及16S核糖体（rRNA）基因分析。
