Electrochemical Remediation Technologies for Polluted Soils, Sediments and Groundwater

by Krishna R. Reddy, Claudio Cameselle (Editor)

An unmatched reference on electrochemical technologies for soil, sediment, and groundwater pollution remediation Electrochemical technologies are emerging as importantapproaches for effective and efficient pollution remediation, bothon their own and in concert with other remediation techniques.Electrochemical Remediation Technologies for Polluted Soils, Sediments and Groundwater provides a systematic and clearexplanation of fundamentals, field applications, as well asopportunities and challenges in developing and implementingelectrochemical remediation technologies. Written by leadingauthorities in their various areas, the text summarizes the latestresearch and offers case studies that illustrate equipment, installation, and methods employed in real-world remediations.

Divided into nine sections, the coverage includes:


Introduction and fundamental principles


Remediation of heavy metals and other inorganic pollutants


Remediation of organic pollutants


Remediation of mixed contaminants


Electrokinetic barriers


Integrated (coupled) technologies


Mathematical modeling


Economic and regulatory considerations


Field applications and performance assessment


Unique as a comprehensive reference on the subject, Electrochemical Remediation Technologies for Polluted Soils, Sediments and Groundwater will serve as a valuable resource toall environmental engineers, scientists, regulators, andpolicymakers.
