The influence of temperature on P release from sediment of Lake Dianchi was discussed. Two kinds of inactivation agent schemes (Al2SO4.18H2O and PAC-Polymeric Aluminum Chloride) were used. The results show that the P release amount from sediment increased as the environmental temperature increased. As temperature raised 10 degrees C, the TP release amount increased 1.22%-38.69%, the DTP release amount increased 4.79%-76.82%. From 25 degrees C to 35 degrees C, the sediment had the largest P release increment. When temperature rose, the oxygen demand in the overlying water increased. Then the transformation speed of Fe3+ to Fe2+ increased, and then the release of Fe-P in sediment accelerated. On the other hand, microbe activity made the release possible through the transformation from organic-phosphorus to inorganic-phosphorus. The inactivation agents used here have significant effect on restraining the phosphorus release from sediment and the capture of particles containing phosphorus in overlying water. PAC had better P inactivation effect than Al2SO4 at 25 degrees C. Inhibition rate of P release from sediment by PAC was about 0.49%, 1.32%, 1.03% higher than Al2SO4 at 5, 15 and 25 degrees C, respectively. As the temperature rose to 35 degrees C, the capacity that PAC restricted P was weakened, so the effect of P release inhibition was weakened. Inactivation rate of Al2SO4 was higher about 2.25% than PAC to P from sediment at 35 degrees C. Temperature of sediments in PAC sets is 2-3 degrees C lower than that of Al2SO4 sets.

Metal mining operations can release toxic metals to surrounding environments where site-specific conditions control the movement of contaminants. Colloid-facilitated transport, the transport of contaminants with small, mobile particles, has been recognized as a potential contaminant transport vector in groundwater, but it remains unclear under what conditions it is important and whether neutral, metal-rich mine drainage from legacy mining impacts this transport vector. This work presents a set of laboratory column experiments that study the effect of colloids on metal mobility in saturated, wetland sediment that has been receiving neutral mine drainage for nearly a century, using mixed and single metal input solutions at neutral pH.

The occurrence of heavy metals is important for understanding their behavior in the sediments of river-salt lake ecosystems due to dramatically changes in salinity and flow velocity at the confluence area. Sediments and surface water samples were collected from the Golmud River-Dabson Salt Lake ecosystem, northwest China, to investigate the spatial distribution, sediment-water partitioning, risk assessment and source apportionment of heavy metals. Higher concentrations of heavy metals were observed in surface water from Dabson Salt Lake than in other regions.

Anthropogenic and industrial activities have released large amounts of mercury (Hg) into the hydrosphere. Hg ultimately deposits in sediments and could be re-released into the water environment, threatening the ecological system. Active capping is considered a suitable remediation method due to its relatively low cost and in-situ decontamination feasibility.

Despite growing attention to the environmental pollution caused by tire wear particles (TWPs), the effects of pristine and photoaged TWPs (P-TWPs and A-TWPs) and their TWP leachates (TWPLs; P-TWPL and A-TWPL) on key nitrogen removal processes in estuarine sediments remain unclear. This study explores the responses of the denitrification rate, anammox rate, and nitrous oxide (NO) accumulation to P-TWP, A-TWP, P-TWPL, and A-TWPL exposure in estuarine sediments, and assesses the potential biotoxic substances present in TWPLs. P-TWPs reduced the denitrification rate by 17.

Studies regarding geochemical partitioning and leaching behavior of Hofmeister ions, which is considered as a risk/causative factor for chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu), are scarce. Therefore, Hofmeister ions' leaching behavior of partially weathered rocks from CKDu endemic (Girandurukotte) and non-endemic (Sewanagala) areas, Sri Lanka were compared. Rock mineralogy was analyzed using X-ray Diffraction, and total ion contents were determined using alkaline and acid digestions.
