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 ...
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 ...
Influence of the Type of Surfactant on the Mobility of Flushing Fluids for Electro-Remediation Processes
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)
The mobility of four flushing fluids in an electro-remediation process has been studied. A mock-up plant with two rows of three electrodes positioned in semipermeable electrolyte wells was used in this study. Two different ...
Electrocoagulation of the effluents from surfactant-aided soil-remediation processes
(Elsevier, 2012-09)
The work described here concerns the electrochemical coagulation of effluents obtained in a surfactant-aided soil-remediation processes, in which phenanthrene was extracted from a clay soil using a sodium dodecyl sulphate ...
Electro-osmotic fluxes in multi-well electro-remediation processes
(Taylor &Francis, 2011)
In recent years, electrokinetic techniques on a laboratory scale have been studied but few applications have been assessed at full-scale. In this work, a mock-up plant with two rows of three electrodes positioned in ...
Enhancing soil vapor extraction with EKSF for the removal of HCHs
(Elsevier, 2022-06)
This paper evaluates the combination of electrokinetic soil flushing (EKSF) with soil vapor extraction (SVE) for the removal of four hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) isomers contained in a real matrix. Results demonstrate that ...
