Hydrogen sulfide is highly toxic and fatal to benthic organisms as well as causing depletion of dissolved oxygen and generating blue tide in eutrophic coastal seas. The purposes of this study are to reveal adsorption characteristics of hydrogen sulfide onto crushed oyster shell, and to evaluate removal efficiency of hydrogen sulfide from pore water in organically enriched sediments using container experiment in order to develop a coastal sediment amendment. The crushed oyster shell was mainly composed of CaCO3 with calcite and CaO crystal phase. The batch experiment showed removal kinetics of hydrogen sulfide can be expressed as the first order equation and Langmuir plot fitted well in describing the adsorption behavior with the adsorption maximum at 12 mg-S g−1. The container experiments suggested the oyster shell adsorbs hydrogen sulfide in pore water effectively and reduces oxygen consumption in the overlying water. Furthermore, oxidation–reduction potential of the sediment was higher with addition of crushed oyster shell than the control without oyster shell. Thus, it is concluded that crushed oyster shell can be an effective amendment to remediate organically enriched sediments in eutrophic coastal seas.
