Addressing the substantial yearly production of waste dredged slurry with high water content, it is imperative to adopt effective technical treatments for sustainable development. This paper establishes that the curing-flocculation-vacuum filtration (C-F-VF) method efficiently converts high-water content dredged slurry into back-fill soil, achieving rapid dewatering. The study delves into the mechanism facilitating swift dewatering and the heightened mechanical properties of the dewatered soil. The synergy of curing, flocculation, and vacuum filtration expedites the dewatering process. The pre-addition of a curing agent reduces the zeta potential of the slurry, enhancing its efficiency in subsequent flocculation and vacuum filtration. Although the curing agent experiences some loss during vacuum filtration, over 91.22% remains in the dewatered soil, fortifying its strength. Soil strength correlates with the water content post-vacuum filtration and the amount of cement added pre-filtration, with a proposed relevant strength prediction formula.

Slurry pipeline transportation is widely used in dredging and serves as an essential method for conveying solid materials. However, accurately describing the interaction between slurry and particles through numerical simulations, while optimizing the pipeline structure to improve the performance of slurry pipelines, poses a significant engineering challenge. In this study, a Z-shaped continuous pipeline, designed using B-spline curves, is implemented in the slurry circulation system.

Sediment slurries, characterized by their high concentrations of fine-grained cohesive sediment, are prevalent in various aquatic environments, including fluid mud, sediment gravity flows, and dredging slurries. Abundant microplastics have been detected in sediment slurries, which indicates that these slurries function as carriers for the transport of microplastics. However, there is a dearth of understanding on how sediment slurries transport microplastics.

The disposal and reutilization of the enormous amounts of slurry-like mud (MS) dredged from navigation channel construction, ecological dredging, and other construction activities have been receiving increasing attention. In this paper, a flocculation-solidification-high-pressure filtration combined method (FSHCM) is used to treat MS, and the consolidation characteristics of The SHCM-treated MS are studied by conducting a series of one-dimensional consolidation compression tests. Various parameters, including the dosage of the curing agent, initial water content, and dry weight of the MS, are systematically analyzed to evaluate their influence on the consolidation behavior.

Article Synopsis
- Contaminated Sediments:
- Hazardous metal contaminants in sediments pose risks to humans and wildlife, and current management options are limited.
- Polonite® as a Solution:
- In lab experiments, Polonite®, an activated calcium-silicate, showed potential as a cost-effective and sustainable sorbent for capping contaminated sediments, with significant metal uptake and reduced bioavailability.
- Key Findings:
- Adding Polonite increased the sediment's capacity to hold metals like Cu, Pb, and Zn considerably, and its usage led to a substantial reduction in metal bioavailability to marine life, making it a better alternative to traditional remediation methods like dredging.

In this work, the Fenton preoxidation and composite coagulant method was used to carry out the rapid dewatering experiment of Chaohu Lake (China) dredging slurry. The changes in extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), particle size distribution, zeta potential, specific resistance to filtration (SRF), and capillary suction time (CST) of the dredging slurry were characterized. The results showed that the molar ratio of HO and Fe had the greatest effect on the dewatering of dredging slurry by Fenton preoxidation.
