Electrokinetic extraction is an emerging technology that has shown considerable potential for efficient and effective removal of both inorganic and organic contaminants from fine-grained soils of low hydraulic conductivity and large specific area when conditions are favorable. The cleanup technology is basically the application of a direct-current electric field across contaminated soils throug...

heavy metals and dyes are major contributors in contamination of water streams. these contaminants enter into our eco- system, thus posing a significant threat to public health, ecological equilibrium and environment. thus a combined discharge of these contaminants results in water pollution with high chemical oxygen demand, biological oxygen demand, color, particulate matter, suspended particl...

introductionthe expanding production of fuels, drugs, fertilizers, chemicals, and hazardous materials has caused considerable environmental contaminations. the contamination of soil and groundwater with petroleum hydrocarbon-based fuels as a result of accidental spills or improper storage has been reported frequently. iran is seriously facing soil contamination problem, due to owning 8.58% of t...
