This book provides an overview of the current development status of
remediation technologies involving electrochemical processes, which
are used to clean up soils that are contaminated with different
types of contaminants (organics, inorganics, metalloids and
radioactive). Written by internationally recognized experts, it
comprises 21 chapters describing the characteristics and
theoretical foundations of various electrochemical applications of
soil remediation. The book's opening section discusses the
fundamental properties and characteristics of the soil, which are
essential to understand the processes that can most effectively
remove organic and inorganic compounds. This part also focuses on
the primary processes that contribute to the application of
electrochemically assisted remediation, hydrodynamic aspects and
kinetics of contaminants in the soil. It also reviews the
techniques that have been developed for the treatment of
contaminated soils using electrochemistry, and discusses different
strategies used to enhance performance, the type of electrode and
electrolyte, and the most important operating conditions. In turn,
the book's second part deals with practical applications of
technologies related to the separation of pollutants from soil.
Special emphasis is given to the characteristics of these
technologies regarding transport of the contaminants and soil
toxicity after treatment. The third part is dedicated to new
technologies, including electrokinetic remediation and hybrid
approaches, for the treatment of emerging contaminants by ex-situ
and in-situ production of strong oxidant species used for soil
remediation. It also discusses pre-pilot scale for soil treatment
and the use of solar photovoltaic panels as an energy source for
powering electrochemical systems, which can reduce both the
investment and maintenance costs of electrochemically assisted
processes.
