Biological permeable reactive barriers coupled with electrokinetic soil flushing for the treatment of diesel-polluted clay soil
(Elsevier, 2015-02)
Removal of diesel from spiked kaolin has been studied in the laboratory using coupled electrokinetic soil flushing (EKSF) and bioremediation through an innovative biological permeable reactive barriers (Bio-PRBs) positioned ...
Electrokinetic remediation of soil polluted with insoluble organics using biological permeable reactive barriers
(Elservier, 2016-09)
This study investigated the remediation of clay soil polluted with low-solubility organics (diesel hydrocarbons) using a combined electrochemical-biological technology. Electrokinetic soil flushing was used, coupled with ...
Removal of nitrates from spiked clay soils by coupling electrokinetic and permeable reactive barrier technologies
(Wiley, 2015-09)
BACKGROUND
This work aims to describe the removal of a model anion (nitrate) from clay soils using electrokinetically assisted soil flushing coupled with permeable reactive barriers consisting of beds of anion exchange ...
Combination of bioremediation and electrokinetics for the in-situ treatment of diesel polluted soil
(Elsevier, 2015-11)
The aim of this work is to compare different strategies based on electrokinetic soil flushing and bioremediation for the remediation of diesel-polluted soil. Four options were tested at the laboratory scale: single ...
Electrokinetic transport of diesel-degrading microorganisms through soils of different textures using electric fields
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2012-01-13)
The mobilisation of diesel-degrading microorganisms in soils of three different textures (sandy, clay and silty) using electrokinetic techniques was studied. The mobilisation tests were performed using a laboratory-scale ...
Removal of 2,4,6-Trichlorophenol from Spiked Clay Soils by Electrokinetic Soil Flushing Assisted with Granular Activated Carbon Permeable Reactive Barrier
(American Chemical Society, 2014)
In this work, it is studied the removal of 2,4,6 trichlorophenol (TCP) from synthetic polluted soils using Electrokinetic Soil Flushing (EKSF) assisted with a Granular Activated Carbon- Permeable Reactive Barrier (GAC-PBR). ...
Effect of electric field on the performance of soil electro-bioremediation with a periodic polarity reversal strategy
(Elsevier, 2016-03)
In this work, it is studied the effect of the electric fields (within the range 0.0–1.5 V cm−1) on the performance of electrobioremediation with polarity reversal, using a bench scale plant with diesel-spiked kaolinite ...
Influence of electric field on the remediation of polluted soil using a biobarrier assisted electro-bioremediation process
(Elsevier, 2016-02)
In this work, it was carried out the study of the electro-bioremediation of soil polluted with diesel by means of combined electrokinetic soil flushing and biobarriers, using bench scale setups and fourteen days-long tests. ...
Effect of a direct electric current on the activity of a hydrocarbon-degrading microorganism culture used as the flushing liquid in soil remediation processes
(Elsevier, 2014-03)
This work aims to obtain more fundamentals for the development of novel electrokinetically enhanced bioremediation processes. It is focused on the effects of direct electric field (DC) on the microbial communities used to ...
Scaling up the electrokinetic-assisted phytoremediation of atrazine-polluted soils using reversal of electrode polarity: A mesocosm study
(Elsevier, 2020-02)
Electrokinetic-assisted phytoremediation (EKPR) has been recently proposed for the removal of pesticides from polluted soils. In this work, we report the results from an EKPR experiment that was carried out in a mesocosm ...
