Soils electrochemical laboratory tests

Section HI covers Types of Tests (H. Hack, Section Editor) includirrg laboratory-accelerated tests, field tests, and service tests. The chapters in this section provide basic principles, describe test techniques and specific considerations such as specimen preparation, test duration and acceleration factors, and cite pertinent standards. Chapters included under laboratory tests are electrochemical, cabinet, immersion, high temperature, and high pressure. Field Tests chapters include atmospheric exposure, seawater, fresh water, and soil. Under service tests are industrial applications and high temperature environments. [Pg.2]

Electrochemical Remediation Heavy metals and other contaminants can be removed from the soil and groundwater with the help of electrokinetic phenomena (electroosmosis, electrophoresis, electrolysis). In electrochemical remediation processes, a continuous electrical field is generated with electrodes that are inserted into the contaminated soil (Shapiro etal. 1989 Ottosen etal. 1995 Hansen etal. 1997). Laboratory and pilot tests have been conducted, for example, with acetic acid as cleaning solution (Renaud 1990). With elec-... [Pg.205]

Field measurement of bulk soil lead by XRF instruments will typically require confirmation analysis through some randomly selected subset of further testing by some reference technique in the laboratory A AS, inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), or ICP-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Other methods are electrochemical in nature, such as ASV and differential pulse polarography. Many soil samples are processed and analyzed directly in the laboratory. [Pg.125]
