From dredged sediment to supplementary cementitious material: characterization, treatment, and reuse

Sediment Recycling: Marsh Renourishment Through Dredged Material Disposal

Dredged Material Disposal Economics

Recent difficulties in siting dredged material disposal facilities are increasing interests in alternative disposal or reuse of dredged material and the possible adverse consequences of any increases in the generation of dredged materials. This paper focuses on economic aspects of these issues. Simple methods are suggested for evaluating the economics of increasing or decreasing the rate of dis...

Decontamination and Beneficial Reuse of Dredged Material Using Existing Infrastructure for the Manufacture of Lightweight Aggregate

JCI/UPCYCLE Associates' technological and commercial approach focuses on the utilization of dredged material as a feedstock in the manufacture of a value added building material, lightweight aggregate (LWA). Our approach, based on proven unit operations, is capable of yielding an "upcycled" product with a demonstrated market demand. Key to the success of the approach is the incorporation of exi...

Feasibility of decontaminating dredged material

EFFICIENCY FACTOR OF SUPPLEMENTARY CEMENTITIOUS MATERIALS: A STATE OF ART

The use of supplementary cementing materials is gradually increasing due to technical, economical, and environmental benefits. Supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) are most commonly used in producing ready mixed concrete (RMC). A quantitative understanding of the efficiency of SCMs as a mineral admixture in concrete is essential for its effective utilisation. The performance and effective...
