Sewer sediments contain high concentrations of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus pollutants, which can be the main source of overflow pollution due to high-velocity scouring. To elucidate the scouring overflow pollution characteristics and regulation mechanism of sewer sediment under different...

As typical pollutants, petroleum hydrocarbons that are widely present in various environmental media such as soil, water, sediments, and air, seriously endanger living organisms and human health. In the meantime, as a green environmental technology that integrates pollutant removal and resource...

Heavy metal pollution on beaches due to enhanced human activities has received attention. This study takes four beaches in China as examples to study the characteristics of heavy metal pollution. The results show that most beach sediments have a certain degree of heavy metal accumulation as a...

Significant management needs raised in urban sewer system to facilitate urban resilience to rainstorm. The work investigated the effects of temporal evolution of rainfall on hydrograph and pollutant discharge of CSO over an intensive observation period of 12 months, with special attention to...

The presence of microplastics (MPs) and the associated organic pollutants in the aquatic environment has attracted growing concern in recent years. MPs could compete with chemicals for adsorption sites on the surface of sediment, affecting the sorption processes of pollutants on sediment. However,...

With the rapid development of water conservancy construction in recent years, the problem of uneven distribution of water resources has been solved to a certain extent, but at the same time, it also brings serious environmental pollution problems. In view of this, this study proposes to use HSPF...

Although microplastics are an emerging pollutant of global concern, little is known about the environmental behavior of microplastic in sediments. This study investigated the occurrence and seasonal variation of microplastics in the sediments of Liangfeng River, China with a fluorescence staining...

The recent substantial expansion of human activities in northeast (NE) China has resulted in increased emission of environmental pollutants. Longer-term records of such environmental pollutants provide a benchmark against which it is possible to evaluate the nature, extent and timing of...

Biochar has been widely applied in soil remediation and water pollution control due to its high stability, excellent surface properties, high-developed pore structure and rich surface functional groups. In this paper, the research progress of biochar application to treatment of various pollutants...

Energy resource scarcity and sediment pollution perniciousness have become enormous challenges, to which research has been focused on energy recovery and recycle technologies to solve both above problems. The organic matter stored in anoxic sediments of freshwater ecosystem represents a tremendous...
