Electrokinetic remediation of estuarine sediments using a large reactor: spatial variation of physicochemical, mineral, and chemical properties.

The treatment and beneficial use of polluted or contaminated environmental matrices have become major issues, especially as the world strives toward a zero-waste policy. In this regard, dredged sediments need to be treated before they can be used in an environmentally safe and sustainable manner. Therefore, this work aims to treat estuarine sediments and, more importantly, use physicochemical, mineral, organic, and chemical information to understand the reactions that occur upon treatment.
