Capping efficiency for metal-contaminated marine sediment under conditions of submarine groundwater discharge
Article Abstract:
Studies suggest that capping is an effective way to retard contaminant transport from sediments in undisturbed conditions, but contaminated near shore areas which are generally selected for capping are often exposed to submarine groundwater discharge (SGD). Column experiments were conducted in a lab to simulate, both in the presence and absence of SGD, metal transport through capping material and sediment. Results from the experiments are discussed.
