Explore the integrated method of utilizing decontaminated river sediments for plant nursing and road construction. Conducted by CEBAS-CSIC in Spain, the study involves sediment analysis, phytotoxicity tests, and sediment as a soil amendment for increased productivity. Preliminary results suggest the sediments can potentially contain phytohormonal compounds. Learn more about the impacts and benefits of this innovative methodology.

ACTIONS FOR CLEANSED FROM CEBAS-CSIC • ANALYSIS ON SAMPLES AND MICROCOSM EXPERIMENT: • Analysisoncontaminatedsediments (General analysis) • and treatedsediments Chemicalanalysis: pH, CE, OM, TOC, soluble C, Physicalanalysis: Humidity, bulkdensity, water holding capacity, water curves, Toxicologicalanalysis: Cu, Zn, Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb Nutritional and elemental analysis: N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Mn, Na, Fe Plantphytotoxic test (Petri plate). Germinationindexon 2 differentseeds (Lepidiumsativun and Hordeumvulgare). Biologicalparameter. Microbialrespiration MICROCOSM EXPERIMENTS
SEDIMENTS AFTER TREATMENT (freshlandfarming: T0, T1 and T6) ANALYSIS FROM CEBAS-CSIC ON T6 SAMPLES (samplesaftertreatment)
Sedimentsaftertreatment: Basic pH (>8) and EC (<5 mS/cm). Humiditybetween 14-20%
Thereissomevariability in thevalue of theseparameters, butit can be consideredacceptable. Thequantities of soluble C (100-190 ppm) and N (3-20 ppm) are veryscarce
Alsosomevariability in total elementsmeasured in sediments can be observed in these figures
Themostabundantanions measured in sediments aftertreatmentwas SO4-2 and clorures.
CEBAS PHYTOTOXICITY: PLANT TEST Lolium perenne Hordeum vulgare SEDIMENT PHYTOTOXICITY ASSAY Germinatión seeds en placas petri 5 days incubation 28 ºC and humidity * % germinated seeds * Roots Germination Index
In general, theGerminationIndex determined in oursampleswas >80%. Itindicatesthatthesediment didnot show toxicity.
Themetabolicactivity of the sediments, measured as microbial respiration, showdthelowestvalues
Balancing the air and water contents has been one of the biggest problems facing greenhouse growers. The substrate can greatly influence the air and water content in the root zone. For this reason, mixtures used in greenhouses are fairly close in total porosity; usually between 80 and 90%.
SEDIMENTS AFTER TREATMENT MIXTURE: SOIL + SEDIMENT ANALYSIS FROM CEBAS-CSIC ON SAMPLES FROM NURSERY Control soil, T33 and T50 (threedifferentsperiments)
Theaddition of thesediment to thesoildecreasedthe pH value and increasedthe EC (salinity)
Total organic C washigher in T33 and T50 than control soil, buttheincreasewasveryscarce. Soluble N valueisbetween 150-200 ppm in allsamples.
Soluble Elements in soil/sediment: > Ca, S, K, Mg and Na < Al, Fe No problemwith heavy metals
Total Elements: Soil/sediments: > Ca, Al, Mg No problemwith heavy metals
Control soil: > phosphate, fluorure Soil/sediment: > sulphate, nitrate

CEBAS (PARTIAL) CONCLUSIONS • -- A TREATMENT ON SEDIMENTS SHOULD BE REALIZED. LANDFARMING • AND PHYTORREMEDIATION IS CONSIDERED ADEQUATE FOR SEDIMENTS. • -- TREATED SEDIMENTS COULD BE USED IN NURSERY, MIXED WITH SOIL • -- POSSIBILITY OF USING THE TREATED SEDIMENT AS SUBSTRATE OR • TECNOSOIL, MIXED WITH OTHER ADDITIVES • WE CAN ANALYSE HEAVY METAL (ALL ELEMENTS) SOLUBLE AND TOTALS • TECNOSOILS: WHAT ABOUT IT?? • 3) COMPOSTING PROCESS WITH SEDIMENTS COULD BE ASSAYED WHAT WE WILL DO NOW??
