  1. 1. Distribution and transport of microplastics and metals in sewage sludge-amended agricultural soil : a Comparative study between microplastics copper, cadmium, and nickel

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Nora Ottander; [2022]
    Keywords : Bioturbation; advective transport; earthworm; Aporrectodea longa;

    Abstract : This thesis investigated the vertical transport of microplastics and metals in agricultural soil after sewage sludge application. Sewage sludge is commonly used in agriculture for adding nutrients and carbon to improve the soil quality. READ MORE

  3. 2. The Effects of Depth and Hydrological Connectivity on Heavy Metal Loading in Riparian Zones

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Emily Rose Williams; [2021]
    Keywords : Riparian zones; metal elements in soils; Discrete Riparian Inflow Zones DRIPs ; riparian soils; metal retention;

    Abstract : The area between a stream and land is known as a riparian zone. These zones are highly dynamic whichcarry and accumulate heavy metals and environmental contaminants. Discrete Riparian Input Zones(DRIPs) are a subset of such zones that carry concentrated amounts of water into streams at discrete points. READ MORE

  4. 3. Chemical Stabilization of Arsenic in Contaminated Soil under Low Redox Conditions

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Eva Smedborn Pausson; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Remediation techniques for arsenic contaminated soil have previously focused mostly on the surface soil layers where aerobic conditions are prevalent. In this master thesis, chemical stabilization by adding zero-valent iron (Fe(0)) and calcium oxide (CaO) to an arsenic-contaminated soil under low redox conditions have been studied through up-flow percolation tests.

  5. 4. Kartering av kadmiumhalt i matjord med portabelt röntgenfluorescensinstrument

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Elin Laxmar; [2018]
    Keywords : Cd; jord; kärna; PXRF; markkartering;

    Abstract : Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that can be toxic to living organisms even in small amounts. Cd occurs naturally in all type of soils but have also been added trough soil amendments and atmospheric fallout. READ MORE

  6. 5. Mineralogical speciation of sulfur in acid sulfate soils from Luleå, Sweden

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geovetenskap och miljöteknik

    Author : Niklas Gunnarsson; [2018]
    Keywords : acid sulfate soil; metal leakage; low pH; SEM; elemental sulfur; framboidal pyrite;

    Abstract : Marine sulfide – bearing sediments that oxidize when in contact with oxygen and leach outelements in high concentrations to small watercourses have been a problem for many years allover the world especially around the Bothnian Bay. The purpose of this study was to furtherinvestigate the sulfur mineralogy present in acid sulfate soils in the area of Luleå, Sweden. READ MORE
