Dredged sediments from ports and rivers are treated as waste material. The disposal of has environmental concerns requires financial resources. reuse in building material such adobe bricks can provide an alternate solution to valorize handle this Adobe eco-friendly construction materials manufactured with clayey soil fibers. Natural fibers addition improves mechanical thermal characteristics br...

Background: Persian Gulf is a semi-closed environment which is affected by pollution ‎from heavy metals. Entrance of heavy metals to the water column and binding to ‎sediment particles can affect the benthic organisms that can accumulate these ‎materials in their body. Noticing this ability, mussels are considered as bio-monitoring ‎agents.‎ Methods: The pearl oyster, Pinctada radiate, and sed...

Quaternary stratigraphic units have been mapped in the Appalachian region of southeastern Quebec, and formal stratigraphic names for these units are proposed. Evidence exists for four separate glacial phases, the last three of which are represented by tills. The three tills, from oldest to youngest, have been named Johnville, Chaudiere, and Lennoxville, respectively. Stratified sediments interb...

The article presents the results of marine geophysical research ancient port area Chersonesos located in Karantinnaya Bay, which is now about 2–4 m below sea level. Set methods along with archeological and hydroacoustic types work includes bottom electrotomography, has not been used until practice underwater archeology to map remains structures buried by sediments. Based on side-scan sonar prof...

Here, we report a type strain AST-10 representing a novel species Sulfurimonas hongkongensis within Epsilonproteobacteria, which is involved in marine sedimentary sulfur oxidation and denitrification. Strain AST-10(T) (= DSM 22096(T) = JCM 18418(T)) was isolated from the coastal sediment at the Kai Tak Approach Channel connected to Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong. It grew chemolithoautotrophicall...

this study investigated single-step extraction of heavy metals from contaminated sedimentscollected in the port of cádiz. experimental tests of washing with an aqueous solution of a chelating agent wereperformed at selected solid/liquid (s/l) ratios. two chelating agents were chosen: 0.3 m edta(ph 3.8 and 8)and sodium citrate (1 m). the objective of the tests was to investigate extractive decon...
