Review of the action of organic matter on mineral sediment flocculation

Sediment is found throughout the world’s alluvial plain rivers, estuarine coasts and adjacent seas and is thereby a key factor in major ecosystems. Suspended mineral sediment can affect the biological activity of microorganisms and plants, by reducing light penetration in the water column or by binding to organic matter. Biological processes...

Bio-Engineering for Sediment Management And Removal of Turbidity Technologies: BESMART Technologies

At Deltares in the Netherlands, a research team is developing a portfolio of technologies dedicated to the management of the finest and most challenging fraction of soft sediments. These technologies may unambiguously be called nature based because they make use of natural processes to enhance dewatering and strengthening, induce flocculation...

Microbial ecology of phototrophic biofilms

Biofilms are layered structures of microbial cells and an extracellular matrix of polymeric substances, associated with surfaces and interfaces. Biofilms trap nutrients for growth of the enclosed microbial community and help prevent detachment of cells from surfaces in flowing systems. Phototrophic biofilms can best be defined as surface...

Automatisering algensimulaties en data-infrastructuur: Voortgangsrapport (P 1.3 & P 3.2)

Phototrophic biofilms and their potential applications

Phototrophic biofilms occur on surfaces exposed to light in a range of terrestrial and aquatic environments. Oxygenic phototrophs like diatoms, green algae, and cyanobacteria are the major primary producers that generate energy and reduce carbon dioxide, providing the system with organic substrates and oxygen. Photosynthesis fuels processes and...

De Eutrofie van de Lage Vaart in oostelijk Flevoland

Uit de resultaten van het routinematige onderzoek van de sectie Waterkwaliteit is gebleken, dat de Lage Vaart tussen Lelystadhaven en Ketelhaven vrij sterk geeutrofieërd is. De oorzaak en tevens de mogelijkheid tot bestrijding van de eutrofie van dit water vormen de fosfaatlozingen op de Lage Vaart. Gezien de waargenomen blauwwier-boeien en het...
