Description:
Electrokinetics employs the use of electrodes implanted in soils-contaminated media. Electrodes are supplied with direct current (dc) facilitating ionic transport and subsequent removal. This project investigates the feasibility and efficiency of electrokinetic transport of lead in soils at bench and pilot-scale. A theoretical model was developed using numerical algorithms based on differential and algebraic equations. The theoretical model is presented and compared with pilot-scale results.
