Electrochemically Assisted Remediation of Contaminated Soils

Part of the book series: Environmental Pollution ((EPOL,volume 30))

Abstract

There are three transport processes associated with the application of electric fields in soils, which affects to the mobility of ions (electromigration), colloids (electrophoresis) and pore water (electro-osmosis). These processes are influenced by other physical, chemical and electrochemical processes in a complex soil matrix and their rates depend linearly on the electric field and also of properties of the species to be transported and/or pore water or soil particles properties. In this chapter, the fundamentals of these processes are described, as well as how they are used in real soil treatment processes.
