This research intended to comprehend the effectiveness of Hg immobilization by TLC under turbation condition via a microcosm study. Three TLC caps with different activated carbon (AC)/clay combinations were applied to actual Hg-contaminated estuary sediment (76.0 ± 2.6 mg-Hg/kg). The caps with AC (3%) + bentonite (3%) and AC (3%) + kaolin (3%) were efficient in reducing both total mercury (THg) and methylmercury (MeHg) concentrations in overlying water by 75–95% and 64–98%, respectively, in the later stage of 75-d operation. In contrast, the AC (3%) + montmorillonite (3%) cap did not show a significant reduction on THg and MeHg in the overlying water, probably due to the unstable, suspension property of montmorillonite. The stable caps showed higher resistance to Hg breakthrough under occasional turbation events; however, a labile cap appeared to have dramatic Hg breakthrough when turbation occurred. It is therefore essential to note that with unstable caps, turbation events may result in unwanted secondary resuspension of contaminants. ? 2019 Elsevier B.V. |
