Electroremediation of a natural soil polluted with phenanthrene in a pilot plant
(Elsevier, 2014-01)
In this work, a pilot plant with two rows of three electrodes in semipermeable electrolyte wells was used to study the electrokinetic treatment of a natural soil polluted with phenanthrene (PHE). The electrokinetic pilot ...
The use of a combined process of surfactant-aided soil washing and coagulation for PAH-contaminated soils treatment
(Elsevier, 2012-03)
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) persist in soils due to their low volatility, low water solubility and low biodegradability, all of which make it difficult to remove this type of compound from soils. The work ...
Electrokinetic flushing with surrounding electrode arrangements for the remediation of soils that are polluted with 2,4-D
(Elsevier, 2016-03)
This work aimed to evaluate electrokinetic soil flushing (EKSF) technologies for the removal of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) from spiked soils using an electrode configuration consisting of one cathode surrounded ...
Geotechnical behaviour of low-permeability soils in surfactant-enhanced electrokinetic remediation
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
Electrokinetic processes provide the basis of a range of very interesting techniques for the remediation of polluted soils. These techniques consist of the application of a current field in the soil that develops different ...
Conductive-Diamond Electrochemical Oxidation of Surfactant-Aided Soil-Washing Effluents
(ACS Publications, 2010)
Washing of soils polluted with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) using surfactant is a widely used technique. Once the pollutant is transferred to the washing solution, the polluted wastewater has to be treated. In ...
Performance of a Vapor-Fed Polybenzimidazole (PBI)-Based Direct Methanol Fuel Cell
(American Chemical Society, 2008)
A high-temperature vapor-fed direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) has been implemented using H3PO4-doped polybenzimidazole (PBI) as the electrolyte. The influence of the cell temperature, the methanol concentration, and the ...
Removal of oxyfluorfen from spiked soils using electrokinetic fences
(Elsevier, 2016-07)
In this work, an accidental spill of Fluoxyl (commercial herbicide containing oxyfluorfen) is simulated in a pilot plant with a soil volume of 70 × 50 × 50 cm3. The transport of Fluoxyl obtained by the free diffusion of ...
Remediation of soils polluted with 2,4-D by electrokinetic soil flushing with facing rows of electrodes
(Elsevier, 2016-02)
This study focuses on evaluating the application of electrokinetic soil flushing (EKSF) technologies to remediate soil polluted with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). This compound was selected as an example of polar ...
Removal of oxyfluorfen from spiked soils using electrokinetic soil flushing with the surrounding arrangements of electrodes
(Elsevier, 2016-07)
This work reports the results of a study in which the remediation of soil that undergoes an accidental discharge of oxyfluorfen is carried out by using electrokinetic soil flushing (EKSF). Two different electrode configurations ...
Multiphysics Implementation of Electrokinetic Remediation Models for Natural Soils and Porewaters
(Elsevier, 2017)
Models of electrokinetic soil remediation systems have been developed significantly in recent decades. A wide range of physicochemical phenomena occurs in this type of process, which makes it difficult to capture all of ...
