Activated Biochars with Iron for In-Situ Sequestration of Organics, Metals and Carbon

Abstract

This research follows from previous work that has demonstrated that suitable sorbent amendments to sediments can lead to contaminant sequestration and reduction of contaminant bioavailability for in-situ management of impacted sites. The primary objective of this research was to test a range of available biochars and especially formulated biochars that can reduce the bioavailability and leaching of toxic chemicals like PAHs, PCBs, DDTs, mercury and methylmercury in sediments.
