Report on the sediment treatment

This deliverable presents the results of the activities related to SUBSED Action B1 from the start of the project (01/10/2018) until about the 6th month of the project (31/03/2019), as planned, concerning the treatment of sediment by landfarming process. The sediments were collected at the start of the landfarming process (end of November 2018), at the middle (middle of January 2019) and at the end of the landfarming process (end of February 2019) and characterized by CNR-IRET from chemical, biochemical and toxicological point of view. The following analyses were carried out: -Physical analysis: texture and bulk density -Chemical analysis: pH, electrical conductivity, nutrient in total and available forms, cation exchange capacity. -Biochemical analysis: hydrolytic and oxidoreductase enzyme activities -Toxicological analysis: total heavy metals and available heavy metals, C>12, PAH, other organic pollutants, ecotoxicological test (phytotest). -Hydraulic analysis: water retention curve (not planned but it gives very important information on the agronomic substrate quality)
