Practical Requirements of In-Situ Electrokinetic Remediation

The use of low-level dc current (or voltage) across electrodes inserted in a soil mass is called electrokinetics. Electrokinetics can be applied to the geotechnical fields such as consolidation and stabilization of slopes, dewatering in construction sites, decontamination of pollutants, barier system in clay liners, sealing and leak-detection system of geomembrane. Recently, electrokinetic is used as a very cost-effective method for remediation of contaminated soils. In this paper, practical requirements of in-situ electrokinetic remediation is investigated. For this purpose, electrode requirements and configuration, electric field distribution, energy expenditure and costs in electrokinetic phenomena in soils is evaluated.
