Book excerpt: This report is part of research to determine a method for efficient evaporative dewatering of fine-grained dredged material slurry placed in confined disposal areas. Two conflicting schools of thought were found to exist. One favored continuous agitation of slurry to prevent desiccation crust formation, which supposedly inhibited drying, while the other postulated that the key to dewatering was to maintain good disposal area surface drainage and thus maximize the rate of crust formation. Controlled agitation experiments were conducted as well as a 6-month field demonstration of periodically mixing surface desiccation crust and underlying very wet dredged material at the Upper Polecat Bay Disposal Area of the U.S. Army Engineer District, Mobile, Ala. It is recommended that Corps of Engineer Districts interested in dewatering fine-grained dredged material placed in confined disposal areas from slurry to normal soil form expend maximum effort in improving surface drainage to remove decant water and precipitation as rapidly as possible so that available evaporative forces may be used to dry the dredged material into crust. Use of mechanical agitation on either a continuous or periodic basis is not recommended.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'Publication Index and Retrieval System' is designed to facilitate dissemination of the information contained in the more than 200 reports resulting from the Dredged Material Research Program (DMRP) and to foster operational applications of their findings and conclusions. Information referenced in this document is applicable to project environmental assessments, detailed design, construction, and operation and maintenance as well as evaluation under requirements of regulatory functions programs. Chapter 1 contains abstracts of the DMRP Synthesis Reports, which present summaries of findings for each of the major DMRP objectives with emphasis on the significance and application of the information. Chapters 2-9 contain abstracts for each of the detailed reports; the abstracts are identified under the major DMRP objectives. Chapter 10 contains the abstracts of the reports on the field tests and demonstration projects concerned with the effects of dredged material disposal in open water and the use of dredged material for habitat creation. The abstracts are also indexed as follows: subject, geographic location, agency/organization, and author. (Author).

This book was released on 1976 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine analytically and experimentally the potential feasibility for employment of aeration as a means of hastening the drying of fine-grained dredged material. Laboratory experiments were conducted on two materials in which 3- and 6-ft cylindrical columns of slurry were aerated at various airflow rates employing various initial moisture contents from 200 to slightly over 300 percent. It was shown that bubbling of diffused air into the slurry increased the rate of the moisture loss. Statistical analyses of these data led to an empirical formula for predicting moisture content from initial moisture content, depth, and unit airflow rate for the two materials. The equation provided reasonable predictions for results obtained in another laboratory-scale slurry pit. Costs for using diffused air to enhance drying under field conditions will be rather high but may be warranted depending on the cost of purchasing and developing new sites. It was concluded that the process showed sufficient potential to recommend that field demonstration and design criteria studies be undertaken.
