Abstract

Electrokinetic remediation is in-situ remediation technique. Potassium dichromate was chosen as the pollutant and its initial concentration was 500mg·kg-1 in Kaolin soil. This experiment, we are to study the feasibility ,the factors which influence the whole course, including applied voltage, treatment time, soil moisture, OH- produced at the cathode and its control. It indicate that, there is separating out oxygen at anode, hydry at cathode. Cr2O72-and CrO42- absorb electron to change to Cr3+, and unite to Cr (OH)3. The experiment results show OH- produced at the cathode has crucial effects on the removal efficiency of chromium; secondly the applied voltage and treatment time have important influence on the efficiency, and the soil moisture affects the efficiency in some degree.
