The management and treatment of contaminated sediment is a worldwide problem and
poses major technical and economic challenges. Nowadays, various attempts have been …

Timely and effective remediation of contaminated sediments is essential for protecting
human health and the environment and restoring beneficial uses to waterways. A number of …

Dredging is frequently implemented for the reduction of internal nitrogen (N) and
phosphorus (P) loadings and the control of eutrophication. Residuals during dredging …

The management of sediment-water interfaces, especially bed stability, is essential for
controlling accumulated contaminants in the sediment. In this study, the relationship …

There are many concerns and challenges in current remediation strategies for sediments
contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Our efforts have been geared toward …

Sequestration of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) by activated carbon (AC) has been
proposed as a remediation strategy for PCB-contaminated sediments. However, published …

In situ capping manages contaminated sediment on-site without creating additional
exposure pathways associated with dredging, eg, sediment resuspension, and potential …

Incorporating materials into sediment caps that can sequester contaminants will greatly
improve their ability to isolate contaminants in the underlying sediments from the rest of the …

This paper presents analytical solutions for predicting one-dimensional contaminant
diffusion in a four-layer sediment-cap system, which is typically encountered in subaqueous …

Sediment capping is a remedial option for managing contaminated sediments that involves
the artificial placement of a layer of material over a contaminated area. Sorbent materials …
