Stabilization of Contaminated Sediments

Heavy metal stabilization in contaminated road-derived sediments.

There is increasing interest in the stabilization of heavy metals in road-derived sediments (RDS), to enable environmentally responsible reuse applications and circumvent the need for costly landfill disposal. To reduce the mobility of heavy metals (i.e. Cu, Pb and Zn) the effectiveness of amendments using phosphate, compost and fly ash addition were investigated using batch leaching experiment...

Contaminated Aquatic Sediments.

A review of the literature published in 2014 relating to the assessment, evaluation and remediation of contaminated aquatic sediments is presented. The review is divided into the following sections: policy and guidance, methodology, distribution, fate and transport, bioavailability, bioaccumulation, risk, toxicity and remediation.

Understanding Contaminated Sediments: Bioavailability of Contamination

In Situ Treatment of Contaminated Sediments

Assessment of Bioaugmentation and Biostimulation Efficiencies for Petroleum Contaminated Sediments

 The effectiveness of hydrocarbon bioremediation strategies approaches is depending on various issues such as type and volume of pollution, nutrient accessibility in the target ecosystem, time, biodiversity of microorganisms, pollutant bioavailability and many others. In the present research, laboratory studies were carried out on the bioremediation of coastal sediment samples ...
