Nitrogen flux release from organically enriched sediments into overlying water, which may have significantly influence on water quality and increasing continuous eutrophication. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the remediation efficiency of oyster shell powder and its treated product into organically enriched sediment in terms of nitrogen flux, organic matter, chlorophyll-a, pH and dissolved oxygen (DO). The TOSP was mainly composed of CaO2. The application of TOSP into the sediment has increased the pH, DO and significantly decreased the concentrations of NH₄⁺-N and T-N compared to other basins. On the other hand, nitrate was enriched with the addition of treated oyster powder, an oxygen releasing compound on both phases. Furthermore, chlorophyll-a was found to be increasing with time in the control basin meanwhile it dropped drastically with the addition of TOSP, which implied on the repression of algal growth owing to blockage of nitrogen source migrating from the sediment. This study has shown that the TOSP was effective to improve sediment-water quality, diminish eutrophication and control harmful algae blooms in a marine environment. Therefore, it is a good reference as an effective environmental remediation agent.

해양오염퇴적물 정화기술의 조속한 국내 정착을 위하여, 육상 토양오염 정화공법들이 해양퇴적물에도 적용될 수 있는지를 해양오염퇴적물 정화사업이 고려되는 울산 방어진과 진해 행암만의 퇴적물을 대상으로 해양오염퇴적물에 활용 가능한 설비를 갖춘 입자분리 및 세척의 세 공법을 사용하여 중금속 제거 가능성을 위주로 평가하였다. 모래에 비하여 중금속 농도가 높은 울산 방어진의 니질 및 점토질에서 각 공법별 중금속 제거 정도는 입자분리의 경우, 비소(As) 81.5%, 수은(Hg) 93.8%이고, 세척의 경우, 카드뮴(Cd) 72.2%, 수은(Hg) 87.1%이며, 같은 분야의 다른 세척의 경우, 카드뮴(Cd) 70.8%, 납(Pb) 65.6%로 나타났다. 실증실험 결과로부터 사용한 입자분리 및 세척 공법은 모래뿐만 아니라 니질과 점토질 크기의 미세입자에 함유된 중금속까지 효과적으로 처리할 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 입자분리보다 입경별 분리, 공정수에 의한 세척, 산 또는 유기용매 등 첨가제에 의한 물리적, 화학적 반응 등 처리공정으로 구성된 세척공법에 의한 중금속 제거가 보다 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 한편 모든 조건에서 처리한 산물의 중금속 농도는 토양오염우려기준 중 3지역 기준에 적합하므로, 중금속 처리뿐만 아니라 처리한 산물을 육상에서 매립지용 복토재, 토목, 건설용 재생토사 등으로 재이용하기위한 처리기술로서 적합한 것으로 판단된다.

This study assessed the performance of activated carbon (AC) amendment to treat polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) including both parent- and alkylated-moieties in sediment impacted by diesel. A field-collected, diesel-impacted sediment with a NAPL content of 1% was used for the study. No. 2 diesel fuel is weathered by heating at $70^{\circ}C$ for 4 days to obtain a weathered diesel sample having C3-naphthalenes to C2-phenanthrenes/anthracenes (N2/P3) ratio similar to the original sediment. The sediment samples spiked with the weathered diesel to obtain non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) contents of 1, 5 and 10% were contacted with AC with a dose of 5% as sediment dry weight for 1 month. By the AC-sediment contact, the freely-dissolved equilibrium concentrations were substantially reduced. Even for sediment with 10% NAPL content, the reductions in the freely-dissolved concentrations were 92% and 75% for total parent-and alkylated-PAHs, respectively. The effect of NAPL contents on the performance of AC was negligible for parent-PAHs, while for alkylated-PAHs, a slightly reduced AC performance was observed. The results suggest that the AC amendment can be an effective option for the treatment of petroleum-impacted sediment with relatively high NAPL contents.

Although many metals contaminated sediment from coastal area contain both anionic and cationic heavy metals, the current remediation technologies are not effective for stabilize heavy metals of both anionic and cationic elements from contaminated coastal region. the present work investigated the efficiency and mechanism of immobilization of Fe, Zn, Cr, Cu, Pb and Cd metal solutions in modified zeolite based biostimulant ball. Biostimulant ball containing acetate, nitrate and sulphate which are enhance the activity of marine microorganisms and it can act as electron donors and electron acceptors. Modified zeolite and chelating agent is greatly enhance the metal stabilization due to increased immobility of the analysed metals. The XRD, FT-IR and SEM of modified zeolite which cheating agents containing heavy metals were investigated. The results indicated that heavy metals could be effectively immobilized in modified zeolite and chelating agents in BSB added sediment. The immobilization of heavy metals in modified zeolite and chelating agents along with BSB could be due to stabilize of heavy metal cations. Immobilization of heavy metals using BSB with modified zeolite and chelating agent has lower cost effect and enhance the sediment quality.

Contaminated sediment can be treated in order to reuse the treated sediment. Even though the chemical criteria are satisfied, the treated sediment could still impose toxic effects. Therefore, this study investigated the changes in the ecological toxic effects of the contaminated sediment from the J region in Singapore after treatment. The contaminated sediment was subject to sequential soil washing and thermal treatment, followed by pH neutralization. Toxic effects of the contaminated and treated sediments were determined by using Vibrio fischeri ($Microtox^{(R)}$), Triticum aestivum (wheat), and Eisenia foetida (earthworm). After treatment, the concentrations of total petroleum hydrocarbons and heavy metals were decreased by 98% and 59-93%, respectively, and satisfied the Industrial Maximum Values of the Dutch Standard, which were used as the remedial goal. The bioluminescence reduction of V. fischeri decreased significantly, and the earthworm survival increased from 0% to 90% after treatment. The germination rate increased from $0{\pm}0%$ to $75{\pm}13%$ after treatment, but the treated sediment may need additional treatment such as nutrient addition for better plant growth. Overall, this study showed that the treatment of the contaminated sediment satisfactorily removed mixed contaminants, and this led to reduction in toxic effects, suggesting improved potentials for reuse of the treated sediment.

Background: Loading of excess nutrient via bioremediation of polluted sediment to overlying water could trigger anoxia and eutrophication in coastal area. The aim of this research was to understand the changes of overlying water features such as dissolved oxygen (DO); pH; oxidation reduction potential (ORP); $chlorophyll-{\alpha}$ ($Chl-{\alpha}$); and nitrogen nutrients ammonia ($N-NH_4{^+}$), nitrate ($N-NO_3{^-}$), and nitrite ($N-NO_2^-$) when the sediment was not treated (control) and treated by calcium peroxide for 5 weeks. Methods: The water samples were analyzed for measuring physical and chemical properties along with the sediment analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) including denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) for identifying the phylogenetic affiliation of microbial communities. Results: Results showed that due to the addition of calcium peroxide in sediment, the overlying water exposed the rise of dissolve oxygen, pH, and ORP than control. Among the nitrogen nutrients, ammonia inhibition was higher in calcium peroxide treatment than control but in case of nitrate inhibition, it was reversed than control. $Chlorophyll-{\alpha}$ was declined in treatment column water by 30% where it was 20% in control column water. Actibacter and Salegentibacter group were detectable in the calcium-peroxide-treated sediment; in contrary, no detectable community ware found in control sediment. Both phylogenetic groups are closely related to marine microflora. Conclusions: This study emphasizes the importance of calcium peroxide as an oxygen release material. Interaction with peroxide proved to be enhancing the formation of microbial community that are beneficial for biodegradation and spontaneity of nutrient attenuation into overlying water.

시화호 저서생태계의 비용효과적 복원을 위한 퇴적토 관리 대안을 제시하기 위하여 시화호 내 오염퇴적물의 현황 및 저서생태계 특성에 대한 조사와 퇴적물 관리 기준과 사례 연구가 수행되었다. 미국해양대기청의 퇴적물환경권고기준에 따라 시화호 퇴적토의 중금속 오염도를 평가한 결과 13개 조사지점 중 반월/시화 산단과 인접해 있는 4개 지점의 퇴적토가 2개 이상의 중금속에서 ERL (Effects Range Low : 저서생물 10%에 악영향을 끼칠 수 있는 농도)을 초과하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 미국 워싱턴 주와 네덜란드에서 정하고 있는 퇴적토 제거기준은 초과하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 유기물 및 황화물 오염의 관점에서 개발된 일본 나고야항과 동경만/요코하마만의 퇴적물 제거기준에 의하면 시화호 표층 퇴적물 대부분이 제거대상인 것으로 나타났다. 한편 저서생물의 조사결과 Polydora ligni (얼굴갯지렁이)와 Musculista senhousia (종밋)와 같은 오염지시종이 우점종으로 출현하였으며, 이로 미루어 유기물 오염에 의한 여름철 용존산소 고갈 및 황화수소 생성등이 일반적인 저서생물의 건강한 성장을 크게 저해하는 것으로 판단되었다. 유기물, 황화물 및 중금속과 오염퇴적토가 주변지역에 미치는 영향을 종합적으로 고려한 결과 일부 지역은 우선적으로 퇴적토 정화가 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단되었다.
