“…One of these emerging technologies are electrokinetic remediation techniques, which offer a great potential for the removal of charged contaminants from sludge (Kim et al, 2002), soil (Virkutyte et al, 2004;Ottosen et al, 2002;Acar and Alshawabkeh, 1993) and timber waste (Velizarova et al, 2002). The electrokinetic process employs a low-level direct current across the contaminated medium, which induces the mobility of charged contaminants due to electromigration and electroosmotic flow (Virkutyte et al, 2004;Haran et al, 1996;Mattson and Lindgren, 1995).…”
