Removal of lindane using electrokinetic soil flushing coupled with air stripping

Joao Miller de Melo Henrique et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the remediation of lindane-contaminated soil using electrokinetic soil flushing combined with air stripping. It was found that flushing fluids containing SDS can efficiently transport lindane, and a significant amount of lindane can be removed through volatilization and stripping. The presence of a strongly alkaline medium leads to the rapid transformation of lindane into other species. Operating with large electric fields does not improve the performance of the treatment technology.

Effect of low permeability zone location on remediation of Cr (VI)-contaminated media by electrokinetics combined with a modified-zeolite barrier

Yuting Zhang et al.

Summary: Research on electrokinetics-permeable reactive barrier (EK-PRB) remediation has mainly focused on homogeneous soils or soils with micro-scale heterogeneities. The potential impact of macro-scale physical heterogeneities, such as stratified layers or lenses, on EK-PRB remediation has not received much attention. This study investigates the effect of a low permeability stratum on EK-PRB remediation of hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)). It was found that the location of the low permeability zone relative to electrode positions significantly affects the removal efficiency of Cr(VI), highlighting the importance of macro-scale physical heterogeneity in EK-PRB remediation.

Comparison of Electrochemical Chloride Extraction Models for Reinforced Concrete Structures Based on Multiple Potential Theories

Wu Xiao-hui et al.

Summary: Steel corrosion is a major cause of deterioration in chloride-contaminated reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Electrochemical chloride extraction (ECE) is a nondestructive repair method that removes chloride ions from RC structures. Electrokinetic models based on different potential theories are commonly used to study ECE processes. This study conducted a comprehensive comparative analysis of these models in terms of potential distribution, current density, charge quantity, and ion concentration. Numerical simulations of two commonly used ECE methods were also performed and compared with actual ECE data. The results suggest that the electroneutrality model is more appropriate for electrokinetic modeling than the constant potential and Gauss' law models, despite potential overestimation of residual chloride concentration and underestimation of current density and hydroxyl concentration.
