electrokinetic remediation

Electrokinetic remediation is a cleaning technique that uses a small electrical current to remove contaminants from soil or sediment. Electrodes are placed at opposite ends of the contaminated area, creating an electric field that causes pollutants—like heavy metals and organic compounds—to move toward the electrodes. These contaminants can then be collected or extracted. This method is effective for treating polluted sites, especially where traditional methods are difficult or impractical. It’s a minimally invasive approach that leverages the natural movement of charged particles under electrical influence to restore soil health.
