Heavy Metal and Soil Type

In this chapter, we provide a qualitative overview of the EK soil remediation experiences reported from laboratory and field with industrially polluted soils regarding the most common heavy metals and soil types. Based on the results reported in the literature, a general guideline of suitable remediation conditions and possible enhancements is given. Lastly, a short overview of published works on EK remediation (EKR) removal of heavy metals from waste materials other than soil is given, highlighting the similarities and differences among material characteristics that influence remediation.
