Agricultural use of sediments from the Albufera Lake (eastern Spain) by Canet, Rodolfo, Chaves, C., Pomares, Fernando, Albiach, Remedios

“…Dredging of the Albufera Lake, a very important natural area of eastern Spain, has been proposed to remediate the silting process, but a very large amount of sediments would be generated. To assess the feasibility of applying these to the sandy agricultural soils surrounding the lake, three rates (180, 360 and 720 t/ha) of four different sediments, corresponding to different degrees and sources of contamination, were tested by mixing with a soil obtained from the area of potential application. …”

Solubility of arsenic in untreated and ZVI-treated contaminated aquifer material by Davies, Oscar R.

“…The samples were collected in an anoxic aquifer within a CCA (Chromated copper arsenate) -contaminated area in Hjältevad. First, experiments were carried out to determine if phosphate and oxalate extractions are a good method in determining how As is bound in untreated and ZVI-treated sediment samples. …”

Dredging and sediment discharge in a river with floodplain. Physicochemical and microbiological effects in Paraná river by Gonzalez, Maria Josefina, Gonzalez, Stella Maris, Paira, Aldo Raul, Collins, Pablo

“…The variables measured in sediment and water samples were limnological parameters (e.g. conductivity, pH, dissolved oxygen, among others), heavy metal concentration, presence of biocides, hydrocarbon molecules, nutrients, sediment granulometry, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus, total coliforms, and heterotrophic bacteria. …”

Using on-farm sedimentation ponds to improve microbial quality of irrigation water in urban vegetable farming in Ghana by Keraita, Bernard N., Drechsel, Pay, Konradsen, Flemming

“…For optimal pathogen removal, better pond designs, farmers’ training on collection of water with minimal disturbance and any other means to enhance sedimentation and pathogen die-off can be essential components of a multiple-barrier approach complementing farm-based measures like simple filtration techniques, better irrigation methods and post-harvest contamination.…”

Key factors determining biochar sorption capacity for metal contaminants: a literature synthesis by Thomas, Evert, Borchard, Nils, Sarmiento, Christian, Atkinson, Rachel, Ladd, Brenton

“…This review demonstrates clearly that multiple parameters during the preparation process influence the effectiveness of biochar to immobilize metal contaminants. Future research that focuses on mechanisms and the underlying factors for the correlations observed should allow the development of biochar formulations that are even more effective at immobilizing metal contaminants in soils and sediments.…”
