ELECTROCHEMICAL REMEDIATION OF SOILS IN CASE OF A COMPLEX POLLUTANT MIXTURE
Journal Title: ISB-INMA TEH AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL ENGINEERING - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper investigates the electrochemical remediation of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), heavy metals, PAHs and pesticides from contaminated soils. The research was performed by using industrial contaminated soil with heavy metals and artificially contaminated with PCBs and PAHs. The experimental work was developed in two phases: at laboratory and real scales in order to validate the results. At laboratory scale, the experiments were performed on three different installations (with three different dimensions). Specific voltage, current density, redox potential, time and pH values were monitored. The treatment efficiency was proven to work on organic pollutants, while for inorganic contaminants a very important factor that influenced the results was pH.
