Abstract
Chromium Elimination from Contaminated Soil by Electro kinetic Remediation, Using Garlic Peels Powder
Highlights
Soil contamination is a serious environmental problem for environmentalists around the world
The aim of this paper was to examine: [1] ability of electro-kinetic process to remove chromium from the contaminated soil, [2] influence of changing pH values of purging solutions on removal process [3] influence of changing voltage gradient on removal process [4] ability of using garlic peels powder, as a barrier material joined with electro kinetic system, to avert reverse osmosis flow
The experiments conducted in this study proved that the pH has an obvious influence on the migration of chromium in the soil
Summary
Soil contamination is a serious environmental problem for environmentalists around the world. There are different types of contaminants that threaten soil such as heavy metals and organic pollutants. The existence of heavy metals in the soil is a major concern for human health. Among the different techniques investigated, the electro kinetic technique has been shown as interesting and effective, due to its on-site applicability (Rosestolato et al 2015, Ferrucci et al 2017). It has more environmentally friendly nature compared to other techniques (Vocciante et al 2016). An electro kinetic method has become a promising technology to remediate the soils contaminated with chromium
