Combined Use of Zirconium-Modified Bentonite Capping and Calcium Nitrate Addition to Control the Release of Phosphorus from Sediments

In this study, sediment incubation experiments were carried out to investigate the efficiency and mechanism of the control of phosphorus (P) release from sediments. The results showed that under anoxic conditions, P could be released from the sediment into the pore water first and then the dissolved P in the pore water could be transported into the overlying water, leading to high concentrations of soluble reactive P (SRP) and diffusive gradient in thin-films (DGT)-labile P in the overlying water. However, the combined use of calcium nitrate (CN) addition and zirconium-modified bentonite (ZB) capping could effectively control the release of P from sediment, resulting in the low concentrations of SRP and DGT-labile P in the overlying water. Furthermore, the combined use of CN addition and ZB capping could significantly decrease the concentrations of SRP and DGT-labile P in the sediment. In addition, the combined utilization of CN addition and ZB capping also could result in a reduction of redox sensitive P (BD-P) in the uppermost sediment layer. The reduction of pore water SRP, DGT-labile P, and BD-P in sediment solids is of great importance to the control of sediment-P liberation by the combined use of CN addition and ZB capping. The reduction efficiency of overlying water SRP by combined CN addition/ZB capping technology was higher than that of single CN addition technology. Compared to that of single CN addition technology, the reduction efficiencies of pore water SRP, SRP diffusion flux across the sediment/overlying water interface (SWI), and BD-P in the sediment by the combined use of CN addition and ZB capping were also higher. The combined technology based on CN addition and ZB capping had a higher reduction efficiency of overlying water SRP during the late stage of sediment remediation than the single technology based on ZB capping, and the former had higher reduction efficiencies of pore water SRP, DGT-labile P, and SRP diffusion flux across the SWI and apparent P diffusion flux through the SWI than the latter. The results of this work indicate that the combined use of CN addition and ZB capping is a very promising method for the control of P release from sediments.
