Potential Electrokinetic Remediation Technologies of Laboratory Scale into Field Application- Methodology Overview

Towards the application of electrokinetic remediation for nuclear site decommissioning

“…This adaptability has resulted in several studies in which EKR is combined with bioor phyto-remediation (EKR-Bio or EKR-Phyto), nanoparticle delivery, dewatering, and others and there are a number of comprehensive reviews on the use of EKR for the remediation of organic [9][10][11] and other [12][13][14] pollutants. While EKR and electrochemical technologies for non-nuclear remediation schemes are a popular area of research, [15][16][17][18][19][20][21] there remains a lack of detailed and critical research and technology overviews directed towards using EKR in full-scale, sustainable applications on nuclear sites. We are unaware of any comprehensive review of EKR literature devoted specifically to nuclear legacy and remediation issues since 2009.…”

A Feasibility Study About the Effectiveness of in Situ Electrokinetic Remediation (Ekr) Using Electrical Resistivity Method (Erm)

“…The electrokinetic process application will present the in-situ remediation under real environmental conditions. Basically, in-situ remediations was redesigned and enhanced from (Suied et al, 2018) where the remediation spacing was scaled up to 400 centimetres between the anode and cathode terminal as illustrated in Figure 2. The electrode terminal was made of stainless steel which is connected to the power supply.…”

“…The electrolyte is one of the vital elements that is used to generate the electroosmotic process. However, the electrode tank was mentioned in Suied et al (2018) as shown in Figure 4(a). The approach shown in Figure 4(a) was impractical and inconvenient.…”

The combination of phytoremediation and electrokinetics remediation technology on arsenic contaminated remediation in tailing storage facilities from gold mine

“…There are various remediation methods for As-contaminated soils, such as EK remediation, which can be performed in-situ to remove As from contaminated soils and mine tailings ( Baek et al., 2009 ). Besides, this remediation technology is suitable for areas with clay and sandy soils and is useful for widespread areas with decreasing contamination levels ( Suied et al., 2018 ). If the EK remediation method is combined with the phytoremediation technologies, the remediation efficiency might be increased.…”
