The invention discloses a screening method for sediment remediation technology application. According to the invention, integrated analysis and parsing are carried out on years of data of lakes, oceans, rivers, reservoirs and the like to formulate key parameters required by sediment remediation technology screening, with the data including total nitrogen, total phosphorus and organic matters, active phosphorus, active nitrogen, phosphorus adsorption parameters, an electron transfer system, nitrogen and phosphorus release rates and the like; according to the method, before a sediment remediation technology application scheme is formulated, the pollutant distribution situation, the pollutant main form, the pollutant release potential and capacity and the like of the sediment can be fully known, meanwhile, the relevance between each index and the sediment pollution degree and the remediation technology are quantified, and accordingly a set of sediment remediation technology selection method is constructed. The method is simple, reliable and strong in practicability, improves the accuracy and scientificity of sediment remediation technology selection, and is suitable for application and popularization.
