Soil contamination is associated to industrial activities, mining exploitations and waste
dumping. It is considered a serious problem since it affects not only the environment, living …

Electrokinetic remediation, variably named as electrochemical soil processing,
electromigration, electrokinetic decontamination or electroreclamation uses electric currents …

Electrokinetic remediation has been increasingly used in soils and other matrices for
numerous contaminants such as inorganic, organic, radionuclides, explosives and their …

Electrokinetic (EK) remediation and its combined methods are emerging technologies to
remove organic pollutants (OPs) from contaminated soils in situ in last decade. This paper …

Overall, investigations about the utilization of electrokinetic technology alone or in
combination with other processes have attracted particular attention in recent years for …

Subsurface contamination has become a widespread and pervasive global problem. Heavy
metals and organic compounds often coexist, and such mixed contaminant distribution …

Anthropogenic activities contaminate many lands and underground waters with dangerous
materials. Although polluted soils occupy small parts of the land, the risk they pose to plants …
