In the present study analysed the physico chemical properties and distribution of heavy metal and also analysed the changes of heavy metal distribution by resuspension and properties of heavy metal release into sea water. From the experimental result showed sediment resuspension plays an important role in the release of heavy metals in coastal environment. Heavy metal release percentage was high in different mixing time of resuspension and different amounts of sediment due to resuspension of particulate matter.

Under nuclear reactor severe accidents, the resuspension of radioactive aerosol may occur in the containment due to the disturbing airflow generated by hydrogen combustion, hydrogen explosion and containment depressurization resulting in the increase of radioactive source term in the containment. In this paper, for containment conditions, by considering the contact between particle and rough deposition surface, the distribution of the distance between two contact points of particle and deposition surface, rolling and lifting separation mechanism, resuspension model based on random contact with rough surface (RRCR) is established. Subsequently, the detailed torque and force analysis is carried out, which indicates that particles are more easily resuspended by rolling under low disturbing airflow velocity. The simulation result is compared with the experimental result and the prediction of different simulation methods, the RRCR model shows equivalent and better predictive ability, which can be applicable for simulation of aerosol resuspension in containment during severe accident.

The phenomenon of sediment resuspension in rivers and lakes causes contaminants (heavy metals and nutrients) accumulated in the sediment to leach into the overlying water. As a result, it can lead to changes in toxic effects and eutrophication in the aquatic ecosystem. In this regard, it is important to quantitatively determine the amount of contaminants leached during sediment resuspension. In this study, methods for assessing the amount of released contaminants and the types of contaminants potentially released due to sediment resuspension were studied and summarized. Methods for assessing leaching can be divided into three groups based on the principle of causing resuspension: (i) the oscillating grid chamber method, (ii) the mechanical stirrer method, and (iii) the shaker method. It was confirmed that the types of contaminants that can potentially be released include heavy metals bound to sulfides, as well as exchangeable and labile forms of heavy metals and nutrients. To effectively manage stable aquatic ecosystems in the future, a simplified leaching test method is needed to assess in advance the risks (i.e., changes in toxic effects and eutrophication) that sediment resuspension may pose to aquatic ecosystems.

A windows-based software package, named DREDGE, is developed for estimating sediment resuspension and contaminant release during dredging operations. DREDGE allows user to enter the necessary dredge information, site characteristics, operational data, and contaminant characteristics, then calculates an array of concentration using the given values. The program mainly consists of the near-field models, which are obtained empirically, for estimating sediment resuspension and the far-field models, which are obtained analytically, for suspended sediment transport. A linear equilibrium partitioning approach is applied to estimate particulate and dissolved contaminant concentrations. This software package which requires only a minimal amount of data consists of three components; user input, tabular output, and graphical output. Combining the near-field and far-field models into a user-friendly windows-based computer program can greatly save dredge operator's, planners', and regulators' efforts for estimating sediment transports and contaminant distribution.

The depletion of dissolved oxygen (DO) in urban streams has a profound effect on the aquatic ecosystem; however, the change in DO by resuspension of sediments and the cause have not been sufficiently investigated. In this study, the physicochemical properties (particle size, and the content of organic and heavy metals) of the sediments of an urban stream (Anyang Stream) and the characteristics of water quality changes (DO, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), dissolved nitrogen (DN), sediment oxygen demand (SOD), and adenosine triphosphate (ATP)) by sediment resuspension were investigated. The sediment content of fine particles (< 0.2 mm) increased from 36.7% to 52.7% from the upstream to the downstream, and the contents of heavy metals and organic matter of the sediment were also higher towards the downstream. The depletion of DO by resuspension was observed in the sediment at the downstream sites (P8, P9), where the fine particle content was high, and biological SOD (BSOD) was more than 88% compared to the total SOD. The increase in BSOD coincided with the increase in ATP. It was also confirmed that the depletion of DO could increase the amount of heavy metals (such as Fe, Mn, and Pb) released from the sediment. Based on the above results, it can be concluded that resuspension of sediments induces rapid water quality changes and may cause accidents, such as fish mortality, during rainfall, and such a water quality effect can be more pronounced in sediments with a high content of fine particles and organic matter and high biological activity.

본 연구는 B광역시 북항을 대상으로 해양 퇴적물의 물리화학적 특성과 오염도를 평가하고, 해양 퇴적물의 재부상 시중금속의 용출특성 및 생태적 위험성을 평가하였다. 북항 퇴적물의 주요 구성성분은 미세 실트질 및 점토질이었으며, 유기물질과 산휘발성 황화물이 높게 포함되어 퇴적물 내 함유된 중금속으로 인한 생태적 위험도가 높은 것으로 평가되었다. 회분식 실험결과, 퇴적물의 재부상으로 인한 중금속 용출속도는 납>>구리>크롬>>아연>카드뮴 순이었으며, 중금속 용출은 금속 황화물의 산화반응에 기인하는 것으로 평가되었다. 중금속은 퇴적물의 재부상 약 1시간 내에 급격히 용출되었으며, 재부상에 의한 황화물의 산화는 퇴적물에 존재하는 중금속의 광물내 잔류분율을 증가시키고, 유기물과 결합된 중금속의 분율을 감소시킬 뿐만 아니라 퇴적물에 함유된 중금속의 다른 결합분율의 변화에 영향을 미쳤다. 퇴적물의 재부상에 의하여 해수로 용출되는 중금속의 용출량은 재부상 시간, 금속 황화물의 산화속도와 재부상하는 퇴적물의 농도에 영향을 받았다.

퇴적물(堆積物)의 형태(形態), 함수비(含水比) 및 저면전단응력(底面剪斷應力)(${\tau}_b$)이 미세퇴적물(微細堆積物)의 부상특성(浮上特性)에 미치는 영향을 연구하기 위해 순환식 개수로에서 부상실험(浮上實驗)을 하였다. 시료는 한국(韓國)의 서해안(西海岸)에 위치한 영광해역과 남동해안(南東海岸)에 위치한 영도해역에서 채취한 것을 사용하였다. 퇴적물(堆積物)의 종류 및 함수비의 크기에 따른 부상한계저면전단응력(浮上限界底面剪斷應力)(${\tau}_c$)이 유추되었다. 동일한 시료에 대해서 함수비(含水比)가 클 수록 상한계저면전단응력(浮上限界底面剪斷應力)은 감소하였으나, 부상량(浮上量)은 증가하였다. 퇴적물(堆積物)의 부상(浮上)은 퇴적물(堆積物)의 함수량(含水量)에도 크게 좌우되지만, 입자간(粒子間)의 결합력(結合力)(점참력(粘着力))을 특징짓는 퇴적물(堆積物)의 형태(形態)에도 강하게 지배되었다. 한 방향 흐름장에서 부상한계저면전단응력(浮上限界底面剪斷應力)은 파-흐름 공존장에서의 부상한계저면전단응력(浮上限界底面剪斷應力)보다 약 4배 이상 크게 나타났다. 저면전단응력(底面剪斷應力)이 작을 경우에는 실험초기(實驗初期)에 급부상(急浮上)한 후 시간이 경과할 수록 저면의 경화로 인해 부상량(浮上量) 어느 일정치에 가까와지고 있으나, 저면전단응력(底面剪斷應力)이 클 수록 시간의 경과에 따라 저변의 연약화로 인해 부상량(浮上量)도 계속적으로 증가하였다. 각(各) 실험(實驗)에 대한 초기(初期) 부하율(浮上率) $E={\alpha}_3({\tau}_b/{\tau}_c-1)^{\beta}$ (${\alpha}_3$, ${\beta}$ = 경험적 상수)을 평가하였으며, 동일한 시료에 대해서는 함수비(含水比)가 클 수록 ${\alpha}_3$와 ${\beta}$ 값이 증가하였다.

A two-dimensional (2D), laterally-averaged hydrodynamic and water quality model, CE-QUAL-W2 was applied to evaluate the performance on simulating the effect of flushing from Daecheong Reservoir on the downstream water quality variations during the flushing events held on November, 2003 and March, 2008. The hydraulic and water quality simulation results were compared with field measurement data, as well as a one-dimensional (1D), unsteady model (KORIV1) that revealed limited capability in the previous study due to missing the resuspension process of river bottom sediments. The results showed that although the 2D model made satisfactory performance in reproducing the temporal variations of dissolved matters including phosphate, ammonia and nitrate, it revealed poor performance in simulating the increase of biological oxygen demand and suspended sediment (SS) concentrations during the passage of the flushing flow. The reason of the error was that the resuspension process of the 2D model is only the function of shear stress induced by wind. In reality, however, as shown by significant correlation between bottom shear stress ($\tau$) and observed SS concentration, the resuspension process can be significantly influenced by current velocity in the riverine system, especially during flushing event. The results indicate that the resuspension of river bottom materials should be incorporated into the water quality modeling processes if $\tau$ is greater than a critical shear stress (${\tau}_c$) for better simulation of flushing effect.

Treated sewage could enable growth by providing key nutrients or seeding the sediments with enterococci strains that can grow in the environment. This study is to test the hypothesis that the flux of bacteria into the water column is rate-limited by the transfer of bacteria across the sediment/water interface. Two conceptual models are derived for the transfer of bacteria to the water column from the sediment/water interface: convective diffusion of isolated bacteria and resuspension of particle-associated bacteria. The model predictions are directly tested together with field measurements of bacteria and sediment in an effluent-dominated stream where high concentrations of enterococci in this stream originate primarily from growth of the bacteria in stream sediments. The results reveal that high concentrations of enterococci in this stream are transported primarily by resuspension of particle-associated bacteria accumulated at the sediment/water interface, either in the form of bacterial aggregates or in the form of inorganic particles.

The sediment resuspension and diffusion model is an integral part of a sediment transport and morphologic change model. We examined a vertical one-dimensional sediment resuspension and diffusion model using field data collected at about 10-m depth off the Saemangeun $4^{th}$ dike. The field data include waves, currents and suspended sediment concentration near the bed for about a day in May, 2007. The suspended sediment concentration obtained from the 1D model overestimated the observation about two orders of magnitude with single grain size and multiple grain sizes. The incorporation of the bed armoring effect, which adjusts the amount of suspended sediment with the available bed sediment, improved the agreement between the model and observation within a factor of two.
