Abstract Purpose of Review Sediment contamination by heavy metals has been known as
one of the most serious environmental challenges due to the abundance, persistence …

In this research, Rhamnolipid has been investigated as a novel bio-draw solution (BDS) for
the extraction of high value bio-products and desalination of algal-rich seawater using FO …

Sediment samples, including 40 surface samples and 12 sediment cores, were collected
from 52 stations of the Yangtze River Estuary (YRE) in 2015 and 2016. The 95% linear …

Coastal sediments play a fundamental role in processing anthropogenic trace metal inputs.
Previous studies have shown that terrestrial organic matter (OM) is a significant vector for …

This study presents a comprehensive analysis of sediment texture along with geochemical
variation, potential sources, and ecological risk assessment of major elements and trace …

Sediment samples were collected from the Petrochemical Special Economic Zone of
Mahshahr Bay, Persian Gulf, and analyzed for possible trace metal contamination by means …

Rivers transport a substantial amount of dissolved and particulate organic matter (DOM and
POM) to the oceans. In estuaries, the transition between DOM and POM due to dissolution or …

One of the most paramount processes that play a considerable role in reducing the
concentration of heavy metals during estuarine mixing is flocculation. Not only does such a …

To assess the contamination sources, patterns, and environmental risk related to potentially
toxic elements (PTEs) in the sediment of the region, ninety-seven surface sediment samples …

Millions of tons of heavy metals enter the ocean through estuaries each year. Estuaries can
serve as the interconnection between the sea and the river, preventing the transfer of tons of …
