摘要
The soils contaminated by copper (Cu) near a mine tailing are remedied via an enhanced electrokinetical (EK) method utilizing approaching anodes (AAs). The variations in the removal efficiency and soil pH as a function of treatment time are determined. The maximum Cu removal efficiency is as high as 61.98% under a voltage gradient of 1V/cm for 48h; in contrast to 38.97% when the conventional electrokinetic remediation with one fixed anode (FA) is employed. Several anodes were inserted as AAs in the treated soil. They were switched in turn from the anode towards the cathode allowing for high H+ ions concentrations and high redox potentials to quickly migrate towards the cathode. As a result, the soil remediation is accelerated. The mechanism of Cu electromigration behavior in soils during an enhanced EK method is described as the elution in an electrokinetically-driven chromatogram.
