Abstract

Fine-grained hypermonosulfidic sediments are widespread on the coastal plains of the northern Baltic Sea that when drained, cause the formation and dispersion of acid and toxic-metal species. In this study, a 30-month laboratory oxidation experiment with such a sediment was performed in incubation cells. To minimize or prevent acidification, limestone was applied in two grain sizes: agricultural limestone with particles that were all
