Electrokinetic instability refers to unstable electric field-driven disturbance to fluid flows, which can be harnessed to promote mixing for various electrokinetic microfluidic applications. This work presents a combined numerical and experimental study of electrokinetic ferrofluid/water co-flows in microchannels of various depths. Instability waves are observed at the ferrofluid and water inte...

The electrokinetic remediation (EKR) method has been extensively considered for the removal of inorganic pollutants from contaminated dredged sediment. In addition, use chelating agents as electrolyte solutions beneficial in increasing mobility metals. This study investigated metals’ (Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, and Zn) mobilities by assessing effect two environmentally friendly agents, ethylenediaminedisu...

A lot of work has shown that despite the effectiveness traditional electrokinetic remediation (EKR) technology in decontaminating soils with different types and amounts contaminants, it can be enhanced by a number strategies for extra effective performance. This presents effect ethanol acetone cosolvents enhancing EKR crude oil contaminated soil (COCS), collected at depth 1 m from petroleum pip...

This paper investigated the effectiveness of incorporating zero-valent iron (ZVI) into electrokinetic (EK) to remediate hyper-Cr(VI) contaminated clay (2497 mg/kg). A ZVI wall was installed in the center of the soil specimen and was filled with 1:1 (w/w) ratio of granular ZVI and sand. Results show that transport of H(+) is greatly retarded by the strong opposite migration of anionic chromate i...
