Electrohydrodynamic method of pH regulation at soil decontamination

Enhancement of the electrokinetic remediation method of fine-dispersed clay soils

“…If the pumping rate in the other chamber is low and the generated ions reach the treated soil, the overall process is as depicted in Fig. 1b. Detailed analysis of the transport processes and the related theoretical simulation has been given elsewhere [20,21]. The reported results confirm the possibility of pH regulation via alternation of the electrolyte pumping rate.…”

Electrokinetic-assisted phytoremediation of atrazine: Differences between electrode and interelectrode soil sections

“…Other strategies to avoid extreme soil pHs, different than periodical polarity reversal [27,28], can be found in the previous literature, e.g. cathode chamber washing [29], the use of ion-exchange membranes to separate electrode chambers [30] and the use of special electrode configurations [16].…”
