Dredged pits are a negative legacy of the Nakaumi Reclamation and Desalination Project, because the generation of hydrogen sulfide, which is the major cause of the destruction of the Nakaumi ecosystem. In the present study, hydrogen sulfide generation in a small pit (0.05 km 2 ) of Hosoi district was significantly suppressed by the application of granulated coal ash (30,000 m 3 , 50 cm in thick) . However, the generation of hydrogen sulfide was again observed after 1.5 years later because of consecutive organic matter sedimentation. A numerical model examination revealed 10,000 m 3 (17 cm thick) of granulated coal ash was sufficient to suppress the generation of hydrogen sulfide in the pit. It was concluded that repeating the application of the material in every few years until the pit is filled would be the best measure for preventing hydrogen sulfide generation due to the consecutive organic matter sedimentation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
