Abstract:Permeability is an important aspect of sediment remediation. It is well-known that oyster shells can be used for sediment remediation, however the influence of pyrolysis temperature on sediment permeability remains unknown. In this study, we examined sediment permeability and remediation using crushed oyster shells of less than 5 mm in size that were pyrolyzed at 350 °C (POS350) and 600 °C (POS600) for six hours. Based on the results of the variable head permeability test, POS600 has greater sediment permeabil… Show more
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.
