In February-April 2014 about 800m3 of sediments were dredged and disposed in a basin in Navicelli area and sampled and characterized. Based on the water, organic matter and organic contamination content, the landfarming technology was selected as the most suitable treatment to have an idoneus substrate for road construction.The landfarming treatment consisted in the periodically (once-twice per week) aeration by mechanically moving the sediment and turn it over. After a physical, chemical, biochemical and toxicological preliminary characterization, olso the Agriport sediments were submitted to two-months landfarming technology as a post-treatment phase, in order to obtain a suitable substrate for ornamental plant growth. This post-treatment was a necessary step, given the high quality of plants and flowers requested in the plant nursery sector.

Abstract

In February-April 2014 about 800m3 of sediments were dredged and disposed in a basin in Navicelli area and sampled and characterized. Based on the water, organic matter and organic contamination content, the landfarming technology was selected as the most suitable treatment to have an idoneus substrate for road construction.The landfarming treatment consisted in the periodically (once-twice per week) aeration by mechanically moving the sediment and turn it over. After a physical, chemical, biochemical and toxicological preliminary characterization, olso the Agriport sediments were submitted to two-months landfarming technology as a post-treatment phase, in order to obtain a suitable substrate for ornamental plant growth. This post-treatment was a necessary step, given the high quality of plants and flowers requested in the plant nursery sector.
