These data suggest that a mixture of sediment and biosolids is preferable to either sediment or biosolids alone.
A closely related isolate from a mixture of marine sediments and sludge collected from a dump and a wastewater treatment plant in Tunisia also showed growth at a moderate temperature (Ben Hania et al. 2011), confirming the presence of this lineage in anaerobic mesophilic environments.
Lightweight aggregates were produced from a mixture of water reservoir sediment and sodium hydroxide at a temperature of 1045 1085 °C.
Ample supernatant was retained for re-suspension of pellets into a muddy solution that yielded a mixture of suspension particles, fine sediments and microorganisms.
They suggested that the best type of mortar to be used for further on-site conservation and restoration consists of a mixture of lime and crushed volcanic sediments or rock, that is, of materials very similar to the original materials used also in many other ancient Roman sites.
C/N ratios can be used to distinguish the source of OM [50]: higher C/N ratios (13.7 ± 4.3) in the marsh sediments indicates a mixture of vascular plant and marine algal sources, whereas the lower C/N ratios in shelf sediments (9.6 ± 0.9) indicates that organic matter was derived more from phytoplankton.
This mixture of sediments, rock fragments and soils act not only as an ultimate sink for trace elements derived from within the catchment but are considered as sources of metals based on changes in environmental conditions which could pose pollution problems [31, 32].
Guanabara Bay is characterized by predominant eutrophication and anoxic sediments with a mixture of pollutants.
The alluvium at Fifteen Mile Reserve and Glendalough Station consisted of a mixture of permeable coarse sandy and gravely sediments and less permeable clays and silts.
The δHg and ΔHg values of most organisms can be explained by a mixture of MMHg and inorganic Hg from sediments.
