Summary The behaviour and fate of trace metals, in particular lead cadmium, when they contaminate the soil as atmospheric fall‐out are not well understood. To improve our understanding, we incorporated pure compounds cadmium into samples taken from surface horizons three chemically contrasting soils monitored changes their speciation by analysing solution. In most instances concentrations metals solution were maximal during first few days after mixing contaminants with soil, depended...
Abstract Clay minerals play a crucial role in regulating the structure and functions of soils because their chemical nature interactions with other soil constituents. In this context, key objective research described article was to assess extent which addition various types recycled clay‐rich materials prone crusting erosion increase clay content improve physical properties. Excavated (ExS), considered waste under European Union law, quarry sludge (QS), an industrial by‐product washing...
Arsenic speciation was determined in marina sediments of the French Mediterranean coast. The sediment from L′Estaque highly impacted by both metallurgical activities and commercial port Marseille, contrast to St. Mandrier that less polluted. In solid phases, As(III) dominant species sediment, whereas As(V) main form with total As concentrations range 160–350 mg/kg 17–20 mg/kg, respectively. sites, arsenic major trace element detected interstitial water, its concentration reaching values...
Abstract Purpose The EU Water Framework Directive (European Union Off J Eur Comm 2000) and Waste Euro 2008) impacted the Beneficial Use (BU) of sediments in Europe. INTERREG has supported initiatives to change perception that are a waste. In this paper we provide an overview tools, pilot sites measuring techniques developed used for BU within seven European projects. We illustrate lessons learned regarding barriers enablers sediments. Materials methods is combination factors. following...
