Decontamination of Clay Using Electrokinetic Phenomena
نویسنده
چکیده
The electrokinetic phenomena is also used for decontamination and enhancement of soil–chemical interaction, apart from electro-osmotic consolidation of dewatering. In this paper, an attempt is made to decontaminate the Na contaminated clay using electro-kinetic principle for varying voltage, spacing and number of electrodes. Box type electrokinetic cell was used for this purpose. Results indicated that % reduction of Na concentration level in the contaminated soil increases with increasing voltage and decreasing spacing of electrodes. It is concluded that effective decontamination of clays using electro-kinetic principle is largely influenced by spacing, voltage and number of electrodes.

متن کاملRemoval or Reducing Heavy Metal (lead) from Soil by Electrokinetic Process
The electrokinetic process is an emerging technology for in situ soil contamination, in which chemical species, both ionic and nonionic are transported to an electrode in soil. These products are subsequently removed from the ground via collection systems engineered for each specific application. Electro kinetics refers to movement of water, ions and charged particles relative to one another un...
متن کاملDeionization shocks in microstructures.
Salt transport in bulk electrolytes is limited by diffusion and advection, but in microstructures with charged surfaces (e.g., microfluidic devices, porous media, soils, or biological tissues) surface conduction and electro-osmotic flow also contribute to ionic fluxes. For small applied voltages, these effects lead to well known linear electrokinetic phenomena. In this paper, we predict some su...
