چکیده مقاله:

Reducing agents-Enhanced electrokinetic Soil Remediation (EKSR) was performed for the removal of chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co) and nickel (Ni) from contaminated soil. The reducing agents oxalic acid and ascorbic acid were investigated under constant voltage gradient (2.0 V/cm), current changes, pH, redox potential, concentration changes and removal performance of Heavy Metals (HMs). The results indicated that the reducing agents were effective in the desorption of metals at the cathode with catholyte conditioning pH. The removal performance of heavy metals in reducing agents-enhanced EKSR was about 2-2.5 times more than in unenhanced treatment. The amount of HMs migrated to the catholyte was more than in the anolyte, which might be evidenced that the negatively charged metal-oxalate/ascorbate complexes migrated via electroosmosis. However, positively charged HM-oxalate/ascorbate complexes and free HM cations moved to the catholyte by electromigration action. Furthermore, the mass balance and cost analysis were performed for all EKSR experiments after 20 days of operation. The energy consumption per cubic meter of treated soil was 1104-18496 kWh/m3 and the total cost was about US$ 110.4-2095, including the cost of the enhancing agents. The study demonstrated that reducing agents-enhanced EKSR is cost-effective and efficient in the removal of HMs from contaminated soil.

Particle morphology and mineral structure of heavy metal-contaminated kaolin soil before and after electrokinetic remediation.

This study aims to characterize the physical distribution of heavy metals in kaolin soil and the chemical and structural changes in kaolinite minerals that result from electrokinetic remediation. Three bench-scale electrokinetic experiments were conducted on kaolin that was spiked with Cr(VI) alone, Ni (II) alone, and a combination of Cr(VI), Ni(II) and Cd(II) under a constant electric potentia...

Remediation of soil contaminated with the heavy metal (Cd2+).

Soil contamination by heavy metals is increasing. The biosorption process for removal of the heavy metal Cd(2+) from contaminated soil is chosen for this study due to its economy, commercial applications, and because it acts without destroying soil structure. The study is divided into four parts (1) soil leaching: the relationships between the soil leaching effect and agitation rates, solvent c...

A Numerical Model of the Soil Flushing Remediation in Heavy Metal Contaminated Soil

This paper presents a 1D numerical model developed to simulate the EDTA chelation process of metal (lead) applied to a soil flushing remediation action. The model considers the non–stationary conditions, typical of unsaturated soil. Flow and transport equations are solved simultaneously. Metal mobilization is evaluated considering both the chemical aspects of chelating agents and the characteri...

Electrokinetic Remediation of Uranium Contaminated Soil by Ion Exchange Membranes

Abstract—The contamination of significant quantities of soils and sediments with uranium and other actinide elements as a result of nuclear activity poses many environmental risks. The electrokinetic process is one of the most promising remediation techniques for sludge, sediment, and saturated or unsaturated soils contaminated with heavy metals and radionuclides. However, secondary waste is a ...

Removal of Heavy Metal from Contaminated Soil with Chelating Agents

Removal of copper and nickel by the addition of the biodegradable chelating agent, chitosan and ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), was investigated, alongside the reaction of a reference compound sodium citrate for comparison. The artificial-contaminated soils were used in this study. The experiments showed that the extraction ability for copper and nickel from the contaminated soil decre...

Enhanced electrokinetic remediation of cadmium contaminated soils by chelating agents

Electrokinetic soil remediation by electroosmosis and ionic migration is restricted to soluble substances. At a higher pH, the soil particles sorb more heavy metals than at a lower pH and the precipitation reactions of heavy metals are promoted. Both mechanisms make heavy metals immobile, rendering cleanup more difficult and electrokinetic extraction inefficient. In this study, the effectivenes...
