Carbon nanotube amendment for treating dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane and hexachlorocyclohexane remaining in Dong-ting Lake sediment — An implication for in-situ remediation
DDTs and HCHws were released from Dong-ting Lake sediment. Carbon nanotubes were effective on treating DDTs and HCHs remaining in sediment. Effectiveness of carbon nanotube amendment was dependent on type, dose and time. Injecting carbon nanotubes to sediment was an effective remediation technology. Carbon nanotube amendment could be potentially used for in-situ remediation.
