Electrokinetic Barriers for Pollution Containment

High removal of multiple metals or coexisting metals and organic compounds (e.g. PAHs) is demonstrated in spiked soil conditions, but the performance was found inadequate in field soils from actual contaminated sites. Proper consideration should be made to reduce the treatment duration, proper handling of secondary liquid waste, and total cost in evaluating the electrochemical removal of contaminant mixtures. 

The basic purpose of electrokinetic barriers is to prevent the migration of contaminants from its current location. These barriers are similar to traditional passive
