The basic electro-kinetic process is defined by forced/induced movement of target pollutants in soil/sand medium under applied electric field low strength between electrodes of opposite polarities. There are several specific mechanisms that contribute to this movement of pollutants. However, one study suggested that the most important ones are electro-osmosis, electro migration, and electrophor...

Electro-osmosis in clayey soils and sediments, for purposes of clay consolidation, dewatering, or cleanup, and electro injection in porous media is widespread recent decades. It is experimentally found that the chemical properties of porous media especially PH change the characteristics of media. Electro-osmotic conductivity is a function of soil and grout material chemistry, altering with time...

We investigate electro-osmosis in aqueous solutions of polyelectrolytes using mean-field equations. A solution of positively charged polyelectrolytes is confined between two negatively charged planar surfaces, and an electric field is applied parallel to the surfaces. When electrostatic attraction between the polymer and the surface is strong, the polymers adhere to the surface, forming a highl...

The mechanism by which fluid is transported across epithelial layers is still unclear. The prevalent idea is that fluid traverses these layers transcellularly, driven by local osmotic gradients secondary to electrolyte transport and utilizing the high osmotic permeability of aquaporins. However, recent findings that some aquaporin knockout mice epithelia transport fluid sow doubts on local osmo...

In this paper, a numerical solution for the electro-osmosis consolidation of clay in multi-dimensional domains at large strains is presented, with the coupling of the soil mechanical behaviour, pore water transport and electrical fields being considered. In particular, the Modified Cam Clay model is employed to describe the elastoplastic behaviour of clay, and some empirical expressions are use...

The electro-osmosis-combined-preloading method is considered very promising in soft soil improvement, while the uncertainty function mechanism has hindered its practical application. To explore of combined method, experiments concerning single electro-osmosis and were carried out using reclaimed sludge. Macroscopic microscopic properties explored compared. Drainage, settlement, water content po...

The classical theory of electrokinetic phenomena assumes a dilute solution of point-like ions in chemical equilibrium with a surface whose doublelayer voltage is of order the thermal voltage, kBT/e = 25 mV. In nonlinear ‘induced-charge’ electrokinetic phenomena, such as ac electro-osmosis, several volts ≈100kBT/e are applied to the double layer, and the theory breaks down and cannot explain man...
