Recycled pangasius pond sediments as organic fertilizer for vegetables cultivation: strategies for sustainable food production

Chau Thi Da et al.

Summary: Intensive Pangasius aquaculture farming in Vietnam has led to increased income but also environmental problems. This study explores the use of Pangasius pond sediments (PPS) mixed with rice straw (RS) to fertilize cucumber and water spinach plants. The results indicate that mixing 30% PPS with 70% RS produces the highest nutrient concentrations. The study demonstrates that organic fertilizer produced from PPS, combined with chemical fertilizer, can replace a significant portion of inorganic fertilizers and increase vegetable production. Using a combination of PPS and chemical fertilizer is more environmentally friendly than relying solely on chemical fertilizers.

An overview of operations and processes for circular management of dredged sediments

P. Crocetti et al.

Summary: Dredging is crucial for maintaining proper water depths in ports and bays, but the resulting sediments often contain high levels of toxic metals and pollutants. Conventional linear sediment management methods are unsustainable, and more efficient circular approaches are needed. However, the development of sediment-based by-products is still limited, and technical and socio-political barriers need to be overcome to implement circular economy in the dredged sediment sector.

Role of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria in boosting the phytoremediation of stressed soils: Opportunities, challenges, and prospects

Poonam Bhanse et al.

Summary: Soil is a vital natural resource that supports plant growth and provides habitat for microorganisms. Urbanization, industrialization, and the use of synthetic fertilizers have led to changes in soil properties, productivity, and contamination/stress. Microbial-assisted phytoremediation, utilizing soil microbes to enhance plant tolerance to stress and improve phytoremediation capacity, is an economical and greener approach. This review critically explores the mechanisms of microbial-assisted phytoremediation and highlights the role of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) in enhancing plant growth and phytoremediation capacity. Advanced tools and techniques for characterizing soil microbial communities and their significance in boosting phytoremediation of stressed soils are also discussed.

Recycling lake sediment to agriculture: Effects on plant growth, nutrient availability, and leaching

Mina Kiani et al.

Summary: Research found that applying nutrient-rich sediment to soil can improve plant yield and nutrient uptake, while reducing nutrient leaching. In the experiment, applying biochar between sediment and soil can reduce phosphorus and nitrogen leaching, providing a promising technique for crop production.

Application of biochar for the remediation of polluted sediments

Yuanyuan Yang et al.

Summary: Biochar, as a carbon-rich material, shows unique advantages in improving soil, climate, and water quality, especially in sediment remediation. The properties of biochar, influenced by pyrolysis conditions, feedstock types, and modification, impact the efficiency of pollutants removal from sediments, as well as microbial compositions and benthic organisms.

Recycling and Reuse of Sediments in Agriculture: Where Is the Problem?

Giancarlo Renella

Summary: There are technical and legislative limitations to complete reuse and recycling of dredged sediments, with recycling of unpolluted sediments possible but facing downsides. While recycled sediments contain nutrients beneficial for plant growth, current lack of legislation and supply chains hinders their reuse in agriculture. Organic pollutants in sediment can be effectively biodegraded, but metals and metalloids may accumulate at concentrations exceeding environmental and agricultural limits.

Inconsistencies in How Environmental Risk Is Evaluated in Sweden for Dumping Dredged Sediment at Sea

Peter Bruce et al.

Summary: In Sweden, while dumping dredged sediment is less common in terms of total number of cases, it remains the main method in terms of volume. When considering exemptions, courts mainly focus on the risk of exposure to contaminants and resuspended sediment for the adjacent environment. However, evaluations are often based on various lines of reasoning and insufficiently account for the ecotoxicological risk of the dumped sediment.

Environmental Impact Evaluation of Current Municipal Solid Waste Treatments in India Using Life Cycle Assessment

Venkata Ravi Sankar Cheela et al.

Summary: An environmental life cycle assessment was conducted to compare different municipal solid waste treatment systems in Visakhapatnam, India. The study found that anaerobic digestion of food waste and residues dumped in engineered landfill without energy recovery has the highest mitigation potential for environmental impacts. Sensitivity analysis confirmed the legitimacy of the data used.

Development of a low-temperature thermal treatment process for the production of plant-growable media using petroleum-impacted dredged sediment

Kibeum Kim et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates the benefits of low-temperature thermal treatment in reducing petroleum hydrocarbons and bioavailability of heavy metals in sediment, while effectively controlling plant stressors generated during the treatment. The post-treatment water washing process removes newly generated stressors, supporting barley germination and growth.
