Use With Other Technologies

Narasimhan (1999) suggested that an electrokinetic barrier can work with the pump and treat technology to improve the cleanup in fine-grained soils. By arranging the 

1 Combined Electroldnetic and Permeable Reactive Barriers (PEREBAR) 

1 Arsenic and Lead, Combined Barrier Lee and Chung (2007) have reported a field experiment in which electrokinetic remediation was coupled with a PEREBAR. Contaminant levels of arsenic and lead fell more than twofold when electrokinetic was used in addition to the permeable barrier of atomizing slag. 

2 Organics, Combined Barrier Chung and Lee also tested zeolite and sand, and iron and sand mixtures, with an electrokinetic barrier, and reported that 300 ppm of ethylene glycol and 50 ppm of cadmium were effectively removed (Chung and Lee, 2007a). 

In another series of experiments, trichloroethylene (TCE) and cadmium were both 90% removed by an electrokinetic PEREBAR of atomizing slag (Chung and Lee, 2007b).
