Abstract
Fifty million cubic meters of marine sediments are dredged each year in France in order to maintain harbor activities and sustain the economy of littoral territories. Because of anthropogenic activities in and around harbors, sediments can contain significant amounts of chemical and organic pollutants whose behavior during dredging must be addressed in order to avoid releasing risks for humans and the environment. French regulations come to govern the management of dredged sediments, considering them "safe" and possible to be dumped at sea or "contaminated" and needed to be treated on land as waste. In recent years, new constraints have been pushed toward the management of land. This management is, however, challenging as few channels are proposed to reuse marine sediments, and elimination appears to be economically and environmentally unsustainable. This study provides an overview of the technical and regulatory aspects related to dredged marine sediment management in France and aims to identify and discuss the limits of their valorization. Dredged sediments are mainly composed of particles with heterogeneous grain size, some being known for many applications such as building materials and growing media. However, several reasons have been put forward to explain why these particles are not reused when extracted from dredged sediments. Several technical, socio-economic, and regulatory obstacles explain the low demand for dredged sediments. This demand can be stimulated by government incentives and a good regulatory framework. National regulations could help streamline their reuse by removing their "waste" status and creating a regulated market for dredged sediment.

Abstract
Nowadays, the preservation and restoration of a historical building needs to be faced in accordance with a novel sensibility regarding the environment in order to preserve the building for future generations. In this context, the scientific community is focusing on novel and sustainable materials and techniques that allow for durability and mechanical performance as well as compatibility with the existing heritage. Alkali-activated materials represent a great challenge to the production of new materials, starting from the existing ones, with the goal of reducing consumption, emission of greenhouse gases and environmental impact. This study deals with the valorisation of waste materials coming from demolition and construction activities in the manufacture of geocomposites suitable for the restoration and conservation of historical heritage. In particular, waste from tuff sawing and brick grinding were used as raw materials, and then the geopolymeric samples produced were characterized based on a physical-chemical and mechanical point of view in order to investigate their performance and evaluate their suitability as materials for a historical building's recovery. The results showed that brick waste-based geocomposites were more compact than the tuff-based ones, as shown by the higher-density values and the lower values of open porosity and water absorption and as further confirmed by the trend of the mechanical performance. Moreover, experimental data showed that the physical and mechanical properties of both bricks and tuff waste-based geocomposites, even with different waste content, are compatible with existing building materials as well as traditional repairing products.

Abstract
Clay sediment is removed by dredging, resulting in the disposal of enormous waste sediment clay slurries that consumes land space, as well as risks the human health and the environment. Manganese (Mn) is often identified in clay slurries. Quicklime (CaO)-activated ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) can be used to stabilize/solidify (S/S) contaminated soils; nevertheless, few studies have been published on the S/S of Mn-contaminated clay slurries using CaO-GGBS. Moreover, the anions contained in clay slurries may affect the S/S efficiency of CaO-GGBS in treating Mn-contaminated clay slurries, but this effect has hardly been investigated. Therefore, this study investigated the S/S efficiency of CaO-GGBS in treating MnSO4-bearing and Mn(NO3)2-bearing clay slurries. The effect of anions (i.e. SO42- and NO3-) on the strength, leachability, mineralogy, and microstructure of Mn-contaminated clay slurries treated with CaO-GGBS was explored. Results showed that CaO-GGBS could improve the strength of both Mn-contaminated slurries to meet the strength requirement for landfill waste outlined by United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). The Mn leachabilities of both Mn-contaminated slurries were decreased to be less than the Euro limit for drinking water after cured for 56 days. The MnSO4-bearing slurry generally produced higher UCS while lower Mn leachability than Mn(NO3)2-bearing slurry at the same CaO-GGBS addition. CSH and Mn(OH)2 were formed, thereby enhancing strength and reducing leachability of Mn. Ettringite in CaO-GGBS-treated MnSO4-bearing slurry, which was formed by the supply of SO42- from MnSO4, further contributed to the strength enhancement and the decrease of Mn leachability. Ettringite was the factor leading to the difference in strength and leaching properties between MnSO4-bearing and Mn(NO3)2-bearing clay slurries. Hence, anions contained in Mn-contaminated slurries significantly affected the strength and the Mn leachability, and need to be identified before CaO-GGBS was used to treat such slurries.

Abstract
Heavy metal contaminated soil (HMCS) threatens world health and sustainable growth, owing to which numerous remediation methods have been devised. Meanwhile, environmental sustainability and geotechnical serviceability of remediated HMCS are important considerations for reusing such soils and achieving sustainable development goals; therefore, these considerations are critically reviewed in this article. For this purpose, different onsite and offsite remediation methods are evaluated from environmental and geotechnical standpoints. It was found that each remediation method has its own merits and limitations in terms of environmental sustainability and geotechnical serviceability; generally, sustainable green remediation (SGR) and cementation are regarded as effective solutions for the problems related to the former and latter, respectively. Overall, the impact of remediation techniques on the environment and geotechnical serviceability is a developing area of study that calls for increased efforts to improve the serviceability, sustainability, reusability and environmental friendliness of the remediated HMCS.

Abstract
Stabilization/solidification (S/S) is becoming increasingly important, as it allows the remediation of contaminated sediments and their recovery into materials for civil engineering. This research proposes a cement-free cold granulation process for manufactured low-cost aggregates from marine sediments contaminated with organic compounds and metals. After the chemo-physical characterization of the study materials, two mix designs were prepared in a rotary plate granulator by adding two industrial by-products as geopolymer precursors, coal fly ash (CFA) and Blast Furnace Slag (BFS), but also alkaline activation solutions, water, and a fluidizer. The results indicated that sediments treated with mix 1 (i.e., with a higher percentage of water and fluidifier) represent the optimal solution in terms of metal leachability. The metal leachability was strictly influenced by aggregates' porosity, density, and microstructure. The technical performance (such as the aggregate impact value > 30%) suggested the use of granules as lightweight aggregates for pavement construction. The results indicated that cold granulation represents a sustainable solution to recycling contaminated marine sediments, CFA, and BFS into lightweight artificial aggregates.

Abstract
The objective of this research is to investigate the possible reuse of dredged sediments from the port of Cherbourg, France, as an alternative material in road engineering and as a backfill material. These dredged sediments contain high percentages of organic matter (OM), and the presence of OM in the sediment, even in small amounts, can affect the engineering properties of sediments. This research was carried out in two series: the sediment was treated with traditional hydraulic binders (ordinary Portland cement (OPC), calcium sulfo-aluminate (CSA) cement, quarry sand (QS), lime, and a combination of them) in the first series, and with pozzolanic binders in the second series (ground-granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) and fly ash (FA)), along with the introduction of an activator. According to French legislation, these two pozzolanic binders (GGBS and FA) have no carbon footprint as they are industrial by-products, and therefore, the second series of this research is considered to be highly eco-friendly and economical. Sediment treated with hydraulic binders yielded a maximum value of unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of 1 MPa at 28 days. Out of eight formulations made using traditional binders, only one formulation barely met the French criteria to be used in the sub-base layer of roads. The development of geopolymer using alkali-activated GGBS and then the incorporation of 30% sediments yielded a UCS value above 2 MPa at 28, 60, 90, and 180 days. Furthermore, the addition of 5% lime and 3% granular calcium carbonate in the same mixture (geopolymer + 30% sediments) increased the UCS by up to 60% and 90%, respectively.

Abstract
Municipal solid waste (MSW) is being generated every day, and its safe disposal is one of the major environmental challenges nowadays. The main focus of this research is to examine the usability of the soil-like inorganic component of MSW, named MSW rejected waste, as a geopolymer binder. In this study, the effect of mutual replacement of MSW rejected waste with ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) at 10% interval on the synthesis of geopolymer binder with reference to density, alkali concentration, and curing period is studied by conducting compressive strength, permeability, and durability tests. The design of mixes follows, according to their pre-determined compaction parameters, optimum moisture content, and maximum dry density. The curing conditions were found to be significant in affecting the properties of the geopolymer. The effect of acid environment on strength properties of geopolymer mixes has also been studied. The unconfined compressive strength, pulse wave velocity, water absorption, and microstructural analysis have been performed on designed mixes to identify the optimized design of the mixtures. Results showed that the strength increased with the increment of GGBFS percentage and increment of concentration of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) up to 8 M.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to recycle dredged sediments as an alternative raw material in the production of ceramic tiles. The effect of the substitution of kaolin by raw sediment (HDS) and calcined sediment (HDSC) in the mixture of the ceramic tile samples sintered at 1100 and 1200 °C was studied. The samples were prepared with different proportions of HDS and HDSC (0, 10, 20 and 30 wt.%) substituting kaolin. The mineralogical analysis of the samples shows that mullite phase disappears in the samples incorporating raw sediments (HDS) and fired sediments (HDSC) leading to the formation of new crystalline phases such as anorthite and diopside.Moreover, ceramic tile samples with 20 wt.% of calcined sediment improve its densification and hence the compressive strength (171 MPa) and thermal conductivity (0.555 W/mK). An evaluation of the leaching was carried out in the ceramic samples, finding that the concentrations of heavy metals in the leachate were within the safety limit established by the USEPA. The heavy metals were immobilised in the ceramic matrix. Therefore, the results showed that dredged sediment (HDS) and calcined sediment (HDSC) could be used as substituent of kaolin to produce eco-friendly ceramic building materials as floor tile ceramics.

Abstract
The valorization of dredged sediments is a promising solution to reduce the strain on natural resources, which is in line with sustainable development goals. This study aims to evaluate the potential valorization of dredged sediment in manufacturing compressed earth blocks (CEBs). The CEBs were stabilized by a combination of fly ash (FA) with sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The stabilization was achieved by partial substitution of sediment for fly ash with six different percentages 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50% by weight. The CEBs samples were characterized in terms of structural, microstructural, mechanical, and thermal properties. The results showed that increasing FA content significantly improves the mechanical strength of CEBs, dry compressive strength ranges from 2.47 MPa to 9 MPa, whereas wet compressive strength ranges from 0.95 MPa to 6.9 MPa. The mechanical performance is related to the amount of alkali-activated fly ash gels, which bind the sediment grains and makes the CEBs more compact and resistant. The optimal dosage of alkali-activated fly ash to replace the sediment was between 10 and 20%. In this substitution range, mechanical performance and physical properties improved significantly. In addition, the thermal properties varied slightly with alkali-activated FA content.

Abstract
Stabilization/solidification (S/S) is a low-cost and effective remedial technique for dredged contaminated sediments. Quick lime (CaO)-activated and reactive magnesia (MgO)-activated ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) are effective and low-carbon S/S binders. However, the existence of metals, especially Zn, in contaminated sediments, may hinder the hydration of GGBS. This study compared the performance and mechanisms of CaO-GGBS, MgO-GGBS and ordinary Portland cement (OPC) for the treatment of Zn-contaminated clay slurry using unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test, one-stage batch leaching test, and mineralogical and thermal analyses. The results showed that the application of the MgO-GGBS (GGBS dosage of 10 % and MgO of 0 %-3 % (of dry clay by mass)) had positive effects on the mechanical strength and Zn immobilization of the contaminated clay slurry while the CaO-GGBS affected negatively and the situation became even worse at a higher CaO dosage (0 %-1.5 % of dry clay by mass). In comparison with OPC, the application of MgO-GGBS produced higher mechanical strength and that for CaO-GGBS was the lowest. The Zn leaching difference depends on initial Zn concentrations. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results showed that a retarder, calcium zinc hydroxide, formed in the immobilization process when adding the CaO-GGBS binder, hindering the GGBS hydration and further leading to inferior strength and higher Zn leachability. The clay slurry treated by the MgO-GGBS binder was found to have a higher calcium silicate hydrate content which explained its high strength and low leachability.

Abstract
Demolition activity plays an important role in the total energy consumption of the construction industry in the European Union. The indiscriminate use of non-renewable raw materials, energy consumption, and unsustainable design has led to a redefinition of the criteria to ensure environmental protection. This article introduces an experimental plan that determines the viability of a new type of construction material, obtained from crushed brick waste, to be introduced into the construction market. The potential of crushed brick waste as a raw material in the production of building precast products, obtained by curing a geopolymeric blend at 60 °C for 3 days, has been exploited. Geopolymers represent an important alternative in reducing emissions and energy consumption, whilst, at the same time, achieving a considerable mechanical performance. The results obtained from this study show that the geopolymers produced from crushed brick were characterized by good properties in terms of open porosity, water absorption, mechanical strength, and surface resistance values when compared to building materials produced using traditional technologies.

Abstract
Until the complete transition to a renewable energy sources based economy, the potential environmental hazards associated with petroleum refinery industries affecting water, air and soil seek sustainable solutions. In the present study contaminated soil from a refinery is used as an alternative source for producing useful building materials by geopolymerization. To this end, soil remediation by thermal desorption was initially applied. Thermal treatment was performed between 60 and 250 °C for short time intervals (10-30 min) in order to remove organic pollutants (Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons, TPHs and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, PAHs). Physical, chemical analyses, mineral phase composition, as well as thermogravimetric analysis were employed to characterize the sample. Moreover, removal efficiency of TPHs and PAHs was evaluated. Subsequently, the treated soil presenting the maximum elimination of TPH and PAHs was used in geopolymer mortar formation aiming to stabilize the toxic metals (TMs) and produce a possible profitable material. For geopolymer synthesis the substitution of metakaolin (MT) by treated soil at 0, 50, 70 and 100% was tested. The produced specimens were evaluated based on the 28 day compressive strength and metals leaching. Results showed that the geopolymer constructed by 50% MT-50% remediated soil at 250 °C for 30 min, had negligible content of organic pollutants, TMs were immobilized and exhibited increased strength thus giving significant recycling benefits. Valorisation of industrial residues to produce building materials is a promising solution for sustainable waste management.

Abstract
Dredged soils have been used as construction materials by alkaline activation with steel slag (steel slag-dredged soil mixtures) at harbors. Such mixtures develop strength chiefly by calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) formation by the pozzolanic reaction. However, the strength of such mixtures is unpredictable, and in some cases, mixtures have been too soft for the intended engineering application. An identification of strength development indicators would accelerate evaluation processes for strength development to facilitate and promote the utilization of such materials. This paper focuses on the relationship between the characteristics of soil organic matters in dredged soils and the strength development of the mixtures by a comparison of eight dredged soils collected from eight different Japanese harbors. The characteristics of the soil organic matters were identified to determine as indicators of mixtures with weak strength development, i.e., enriched sulfur content in extracted soil organic matter (humic acid) fraction, and the N/C ratio of humic acid similar to land humic acid standards. Increases in the validated fraction of dredged soils and steel slag by replacing fractions disadvantageous to construction resources would contribute to reduce waste production, which would lower the environmental impact of the use, aiming to achieve sustainable utilization of such materials.

Abstract
Investigations of stabilized/solidified sediment (S/S sediment) by simulated field-construction processes (crushing and filling) are fundamental to evaluating the potential reuse as fill materials. A series of tests were conducted on the samples prepared from S/S sediment grains (SG), which was obtained by crushing the cement treated sediment. By sampling the SG with different field-curing durations (t1: 28, 35, 56 and 98 days) and measuring them by unconfined compressive strength (UCS) tests, the effect of t1 on the UCS was investigated. By continually curing the samples prepared from the SG with 28 field-curing days in laboratory for an additional 7, 28, 35 and 70 days (t2) and subjecting them to UCS and tank leaching tests with different ambient (leachate) pH values (1, 4, 7, 10 and 14), the effect of t2 and ambient pH was evaluated. Increasing t1 and t2 was found to significantly influence the strength of SG, which highlights the importance of an appropriate curing period. The releases of the metals (As, Cr, Cu, Zn, Pb, Ni, and Hg) in the SG exhibited a strongly pH-dependence but less correlation with t2. Neutral conditions (pH = 7) offered the best immobilization capacity for Cu; As, Cr, Ni and Zn exhibited the lowest release at pH = 10; the release of Pb decreased moderately with increasing pH. The S/S sediment complied with the acceptance criteria in terms of metal release and can be regarded as an environmentally friendly fill material. The results highlight the technical feasibility of stabilized sediment recycling in aquatic environment projects.

Abstract
This work recovered the dredged sediment around Kaohsiung Harbor, Taiwan, for preparing lightweight aggregates (LWA), of which physicochemical properties as affected by the addition of basic-oxygen-furnace (BOF) slag and waste glass were investigated. LWA properties included water absorption, particle density, compressive strength, shrinkage, and microstructure of sintered pellets were evaluated to ensure feasibility of dredged harbor sediment reutilization technique. Results showed that adding appropriate amount of glass powders (~7%) to the mixtures of sediment and slag significantly reduced the water absorption (as low as 2.2%) of the sintered pellets and increase the compressive strength (as high as 23.1 MPa) of LWA, which were found to be controlled by open porosity and shrinkage. Excessive addition of glass (>10%) led to increase in internal pore sizes of the sintered pellets, and thus reduced the compressive strength. The alkali-silica reactivity (ASR) of the LWA was innocuous according to the ASTM C289 test. Sintering and glass addition improved the stability of heavy metal and environmental compatibility of the LWA. The recycling of waste sediment, slag, and glass for LWA production can provide an alternative for the disposal of dredge harbor sediment and has positive impact on waste reduction, which not only can reduce secondary contamination to the environment, but also can contribute to circular economy.

Abstract
Management strategies for the safe disposal of contaminated dredged marine sediment constitute a global-scale environmental issue. The stabilization/solidification method was investigated as a sustainable approach to the recycling of the sediment as a construction material. A systematic study of the factors affecting the mechanical performance and contaminant release was performed. The physico-chemical variables selected to assess the potential re-use of the sediment treated with Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) in an aquatic environment were: curing duration (7, 28, 56 and 98 days), curing temperature (5, 20 and 40 °C) and ambient (leachate) pH (1, 4, 7 and 10). Unconfined compressive strength (UCS) tests were conducted and extended-duration tank leaching tests were used to characterize the long-term leaching of Al, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Ba, Pb. The results showed that S/S methods provide excellent immobilization of metals in marine sediment at a pH range of 4 to 10. Immobilization efficiencies of >99.9% for Mn, Fe, Zn, As, Ba, Pb and >97.8% for Al, Cu and Zn are reported over 100 days. GGBS replacement is an effective way to further improve sediment properties by enhancing strength, mitigating sediment alkalization and offering a better immobilization capacity for Fe, Ni and Zn. The release of metals (Al, Mn, Cu, As, Ba and Pb) was strongly associated with a coupling effect of the physico-chemical factors, with metal-specific responses to curing temperature, curing duration and pH. Mn mobility showed a dramatic sensitivity to ambient pH while Ba was less pH-dependent. Al release is related to strength and leached out by dissolution in all situations considered. Considering that dredged marine sediments may contain multiple metal contaminants which exhibit individual responses to remediation, treatment with GGBS may be considered a potentially suitable management option.

Abstract
The stabilization of soil through the addition of fly ash has been shown to be an effective alternative for improving the strength and stiffness of soil through the resulting chemical reactions. The chemical reaction that occurs dissociates the lime (CaO) in the fly ash, and the establishment of cementitious and pozzolanic gels (consisting of calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) gel and calcium aluminate hydrate (CAH) gel) binds the soil particles and increases the strength and stiffness of the soil. Investigations into the mechanical properties of sands stabilized with fly ash (fly-ash-stabilized sands) were conducted through a series of unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and direct shear strength tests for various fly ash percentages, curing times, grain sizes, degrees of saturation during sample preparation, and content of fines. It was found that the mechanical properties—UCS and direct shear strength (DSS)—of fly-ash-stabilized sands increased with both increasing fly ash content in the specimen and curing time, but decreased with increasing grain size, degree of saturation during sample preparation, and content of fines. The results indicated that fly-ash-stabilized sands required more than a month to attain their optimum performance with regard to binding sand particles.

Abstract
The potential for practical application of fly ash, zinc slag and their blends for geopolymer synthesis at ambient temperature have been investigated in this paper. Fly ash is an alumino-silicate byproduct suitable for geopolymer reaction, but its low reactivity at ambient condition is the restriction of its bulk utilization. Above limitation can be overcome by blending with zinc slag (ZS). Additionally, ZS contains heavy and toxic metals (Pb, Zn, Cr, Cd, As), which can be stabilize in Al-Si based geopolymer network structure. Isothermal conduction calorimetry (ICC) is used to monitor the geopolymer reaction with time. Slag rich specimens are characterized with higher rate of reaction with augmented peak. The mineralogy and microstructure of the geopolymers have been examined through X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. The detected chief reaction product is N-(C)-A-S-H and C-(N)-A-S-H1 type hydrated gel. Continual improvement of compressive strength of the geopolymers with increasing slag content is explained with higher degree of reaction, formation of more reaction products and development of compact microstructure. According to toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP), toxic metals leaching is within permissible limit. Paver blocks using 40-80 wt% ZS has been developed, which meets IS 15,658: 2006 standard and comply with US-EPA specification.

Abstract
As known, marine dredged materials (DMs) are highly nuisance wastes if they are not correctly reused or removed. In this work, the usability of DMs to the technical terms as manufactured topsoil (MT) in the urban landscaping works is discussed. Firstly, the leaching potentials of DMs were determined according to the related legislations to identify their hazardousness features. Secondly, DMs were subject to some treatment stages such as sieving, desalination, organic amelioration via peat and sheep manure, and pH adjustment to turn into an alternative natural soil pursuant to the British Standard in the scope of soil quality improvement studies as there is not any national standard in Turkey for the production of topsoil from different materials. Then, MT mixtures were prepared with washed and unwashed DM, peat and sheep manure in different mixing ratios (v/v); 33%, 50% and 67% DM, respectively. Consequently, high quality grass seed mixtures used for the landscaping applications were monitored for six months. The results demonstrate the availability of DM as alternative MT in the urban landscaping areas. Thus, important data were obtained as to the use of DM at alternative areas such as green city, green roof, shopping centers, organized industry, etc.

Abstract
In order to realize pollution control and resource recovery, sediment from Beian River in Mudanjiang City China was used for ceramsite production. The maximum content of total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP) and organic matter (OM) in sediments of Beian River were 2975 mg kg-1, 2947 mg kg-1 and 29.6%, respectively. So, it should be treated properly for resource utilization. The orthogonal experiment of L 16 (45) was adopted to determine the best conditions for ceramsite production and the result demonstrated that the sewage sludge ratio of 15%, binder ratio of 5%, pre-heating temperature of 450°C, sintering temperature of 1150°C and firing time of 23 min were the optimum conditions. The corresponding product met with the standard of CJ/T 299-2008 and the heavy metal leaching experiment showed it was lower than the threshold of China's industrial standard. Thus, it demonstrated that ceramsite production was a feasible way for utilization of sediment.

Abstract
Treatment of dredged materials is a critical issue, since management and disposal of these products requires considerable investment of monetary resources, time, and space. The high concentration of pollutants in dredged materials, along with high water content and many fine particles make recycling these materials particularly difficult. In order to solve this problem, solidification/stabilization has been considered as a potentially viable solution for recycling dredged marine sediments. However, there are currently no guidelines that address potential biological and environmental impacts. To evaluate the stability of treated materials and their biological impacts, dredged marine sediments, which were polluted with heavy metals, were treated by solidification/stabilization using two different solidifying agents. To assess potential impacts, toxicity characteristic leaching procedures (TCLP, USEPA) and a bioassay (with the rotifer, Brachionus sp.) were performed with treated materials. In a TCLP test, we found that treatment with a solidification agent decreased the leaching concentration of heavy metals from sediment compared to the control. The rotifer bioassay showed no change in the survival rate during 24 h of exposure to both agents. However, survival differed between the two agents after 48 h of exposure. Screening physiological status using gene expression, showed that oxidative stress genes were significantly altered. These results suggest that more studies are needed to provide guidelines for deciding the usability of treated materials created by the solidification or stabilization of dredged materials.
