“…Several researchers have investigated potential applicability of electrokinetic remediation of soils contaminated with heavy metals and organic compounds (Acar et al 1995;Page and Page 2002;Sawada et al 2004;Amrate et al 2005;Ribeiro et al 2005;Deng and Jennings 2006;Niqui-Arroyo and Ortega-Calvo 2007;Isosaari et al 2007). A comprehensive electrokinetic research program has been in place at the University of Illinois at Chicago since 1993.…”

Throughout the world, subsurface contamination has become a widespread and pervasive problem. Toxic chemicals such as heavy metals and organic compounds are commonly used in a myriad of industries. However, largely through inadvertent or accidental release, these chemicals are presently polluting sites across the United States. In order to protect public health and the environment, further pollution must be prevented and sites with existing contamination urgently need remediation. Unfortunately, remediating subsurface contamination has proved to be a daunting task. Heavy metals and organic compounds often coexist and their distribution within the subsurface is highly dependent on particle and macro-scale heterogeneities. Vast resources have been invested to develop efficient remediation technologies, yet very few of these technologies have been successful. In-situ remediation is often preferred due to minimal site disturbance, safety, simplicity, and costeffectiveness. The effectiveness of in-situ remediation technologies depends largely on the contaminant chemistry and subsurface heterogeneities (including particle-scale heterogeneities such as fine-grained soils, soils with reactive minerals, and/or soils rich in organic matter as well as macro-scale heterogeneities such as irregular soil layers and/or lenses). Under such heterogeneous conditions, integrated electrokinetic remediation technology has great potential. As a safe and economical remedial option for so many contaminated sites, the application of integrated electrokinetic remediation offers enormous public health, environmental, and financial benefits.

“…1). Atrazine is worldwide used, often in combination with other herbicides (Chan & Chu, 2005), to control broadleaf and grassy weeds in agriculture, especially in corn, sorghum and sugar cane crops and in conifer reforestation planting (Ribeiro et al, 2005). Atrazine kills susceptible plants by binding to the quinone-binding protein in photosystem II, thus, inhibiting the photosynthetic electron transport.…”

“…The numerical modeling of electrokinetic remediation of heavy metals contaminated soils was first implemented by Wilson et al [38,39], and lately adapted also for organic contaminants [40,41]. Further developments include the electrodialytic and dialytic treatment of a fly ash [42], and also the electrokinetic desalination treatments [43].…”
