Electrokinetic Remediation for Environmental Security and SustainabilityExplore this comprehensive reference on the remediation of contaminated substrates, filled with cutting-edge research and practical case studiesElectrokinetic Remediation for Environmental Security and Sustainabilitydelivers a thorough review of electrokinetic remediation (EKR) for the treatment of inorganic and organic contaminants in contaminated substrates. The book highlights recent progress and developments in EKR in the areas of resource recovery, the removal of pollutants, and environmental remediation. It also discusses the use of EKR in conjunction with nanotechnology and phytoremediation.Throughout the book, case studies are presented that involve the field implementation of EKR technologies. The book also includes discussions of enhanced electrokinetic remediation of dredged co-contaminated sediments, solar-powered bioelectrokinetics for the mitigation of contaminated agricultural soil, advanced electro-fenton for remediation of organics, electrokinetic remediation for PPCPs in contaminated substrates, and the electrokinetic remediation of agrochemicals such as organochlorine compounds. Other topics include:A thorough introduction to the modelling of electrokinetic remediationAn exploration of the electrokinetic recovery of tungsten and removal of arsenic from mining secondary resourcesAn analysis of pharmaceutically active compounds in wastewater treatment plants with a discussion of electrochemical advanced oxidation as an on-site treatmentA review of rare earth elements, including general concepts and recovery techniques, like electrodialytic extractionA treatment of hydrocarbon-contaminated soil in cold climate conditionsPerfect for environmental engineers and scientists, geologists, chemical engineers, biochemical engineers, and scientists working with green technology,Electrokinetic Remediation for Environmental Security and Sustainabilitywill also earn a place in the libraries of academic and industry researchers, engineers, regulators, and policy makers with an interest in the remediation of contaminated natural resources.
