[PMID: 33770863 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.145029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2020] [Revised: 12/15/2020] [Accepted: 01/04/2021] [Indexed: 05/09/2023]
Abstract
Enhanced electrokinetic remediation (EKR) allows the rapid remediation of heavy metal-contaminated clay, but the impacts of this process on soil micro-ecology have rarely been evaluated. In this study, nitric acid, acetic acid, and EDTA were applied for enhancement of EKR and the effects on Cd removal, soil enzyme activity, and soil bacterial communities (SBCs) were determined. Nitric acid and acetic acid allowed 93.2% and 91.8% Cd removal, respectively, and EDTA treatment resulted in 40.4% removal due to the formation of negatively charged EDTA-Cd complexes, resulting in opposing directions of Cd electromigration and electroosmosis flow and slow electromigration rate caused by low voltage drop. Activities of soil beta-glucosidase, acid phosphatase, and urease, were all reduced by enhanced EKR treatment, especially nitric acid treatment, by 46.2%, 58.8% and 57.7%, respectively. The SBCs were analyzed by high-throughput sequencing and revealed significantly increased diversity for acetic acid treatment, no effect for EDTA treatment, and reduced diversity for nitric acid treatment. Compared with nitric acid and EDTA, acetic acid treatment enhanced EKR for higher Cd removal and improved biodiversity.

Abstract
Electrokinetic remediation technique is widely applied for the removal of heavy metal from contaminated soil, but the soil buffering capacity and fractionation of heavy metals mainly affect the cost and duration of the treatment. This study aims to treat heavy metal-contaminated sediments by electrokinetic remediation (EKR) technique by using various enhancing agents such as EDTA, [Formula: see text], HCI, [Formula: see text], acetic acid and citric acid for optimizing the cost and treatment duration. The optimum molar concentration of enhancing agent for treatment was estimated by batch experiments to maximize the dissolution of target heavy metals and reduce the dissolution of earth metals (Fe, Al and Ca) to maintain soil health. The EKR experiments were performed up to 15 days with the above enhancing agents to reduce the risk associated with heavy metals and the selection of enhancing agents based on removal efficiency was found to be in an order of EDTA > citric acid > acetic acid > [Formula: see text] > HCl [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text]. Also, a numerical model has been developed by incorporating main electrokinetic transport phenomena (electromigration and electroosmosis) and geochemical processes for the prediction of treatment duration and to scale up the EKR process. The model predicts well with experimental heavy metal removal with a MAPD of [Formula: see text] 2-18 %. The parametric study on electrode distance for full-scale EKR treatment was found in this study as [Formula: see text] 0.5 m.

Comparison of different extracting agents for the recovery of Pb and Zn through electrokinetic remediation of mine tailings. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2021; 279:111728.

Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the feasibility of Electrokinetic Remediation to remove lead and zinc from real mine tailings, collected from the Lacan's lead and zinc Mineralized Flotation Processing Plant (Markazi province, Iran). High buffering capacity, high organic matter, and heavy metal contamination were the unique characteristics of this mine tailing. Electrokinetic remediation of the mine tailings was carried out in 11 separate experiments under constant voltage gradient of 2 V/cm for 9 days. Various enhancement techniques were tested, such as 1) electrolyte conditioning using chelating agents including ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, citric acid, acetic acid, and hydrochloric acid; 2) increasing the concentration of the catholyte solution, and 3) adding chelating agents to the soil as a pre-treatment of the tailings and the electrolyte condoning simultaneously. The concentration of each electrolyte solution was selected based on the different extraction tests that resulted in the optimal or highest extraction percentage of lead and zinc. Electrolyte conditioning, in the case of using citric acid 1 M enhanced the removal of Pb and Zn dramatically. Catholyte conditioning, using citric acid 1 M, was the most effective enhancement technique for removing Zn (38.34%); also, the best removal efficiency of Pb (51.31%) was achieved using the same electrolyte solution in both electrode chambers. Increasing the acetic acid concentration was favorable for removal of both heavy metals. Compared to catholyte conditioning, pre-treatment coupled with catholyte conditioning could not improve the removal efficiency considerably.

Abstract
The 'focusing' effect has become a limiting factor for the removal of heavy metals from soils by electrokinetic (EK) remediation. A superimposed electric field EK (SE-EK) method is proposed to address this problem. Two sets of fixed electrodes placed at different positions were switched to move the 'focusing' region of Cd to the cathode by controlling the location of the pH jumping front. Moreover, a model was established to simulate and optimize the process of Cd transport in soil under the superimposed electric field. Results showed that, after 35 d of SE-EK remediation, Cd was mainly accumulated in the soil section near the cathode (S5), where the acid and alkaline fronts converged. The removal rate of Cd in the soil sections from S1 to S4 reached 87.60%, which was 6.13 times that in conventional EK remediation. Meanwhile, the energy utilization efficiency in SE-EK was 6.38 times that in conventional EK. The pH changes and Cd distribution during the SE-EK experiment were simulated well, with good agreement between the modeled and experimental data. The removal of Cd in SE-EK remediation could therefore be optimized through simulating the distribution of Cd in five situations with differences in switching time and electrode position. This research provides valuable technical support for effective EK remediation of heavy metal contaminated soil.

Abstract
A mathematical model for reactive-transport processes in porous media is presented. The modeled system includes diffusion, electromigration and electroosmosis as the most relevant transport mechanisms and water electrolysis at the electrodes, aqueous species complexation, precipitation and dissolution as the chemical reactions taken place during the treatment time. The model is based on the local chemical equilibrium for most of the reversible chemical reactions occurring in the process. As a novel enhancement of previous models, the local chemical equilibrium reactive-transport model is combined with the solution of the transient equations for the kinetics of those chemical reactions that have representative rates in the same order than the transport mechanisms. The model is validated by comparison of simulation and experimental results for an acid-enhanced electrokinetic treatment of a real Pb-contaminated calcareous soil. The kinetics of the main pH buffering process, the calcite dissolution, was defined by a simplified empirical kinetic law. Results show that the evaluation of kinetic rate entails a significant improvement of the model prediction capability.

Abstract
The MSWI fly ash which contains a large number of heavy metal substances is a subsidiary product of waste incineration power generation technology. If the MSWI fly ash is disposed improperly, heavy metal pollutants will pose a great threat to environmental safety and human health. Based on the technology of electrokinetic remediation, the feasibility of removing heavy metal pollutants from the MSWI fly ash using a modified electrokinetic remediation device - cylinder device was evaluated in this study. Differing from the traditional cuboid device with the volume ratio of the cathode chamber to the anode chamber being 1:1, the volume ratio of the cathode chamber to the anode chamber of the cylinder device was 16:1. Changes in parameters, such as pH values and conductivity in the cathode and the anode chambers as well as current and voltage in the sample area were analysed under the voltage gradient of 2 V/cm. After the experiment, the average removal efficiencies for Zn, Pb, Cd and Cu in the sample area were 53.2%, 31.4%, 42.3% and 30.7%, respectively. It indicates that the cylinder device is effective in removing heavy metals from the MSWI fly ash. Adopting the cylinder device for the experimental study on the electrokinetic remediation technology could provide a better way of thinking for the future engineering practices and applications.

A physiscochemical model is presented for the reactive-transport of chemical scpecies through a contaminated soil during an acid-enhanced electrokinetic remediation treatment. Numerical simulations in the specific case of the removal of cadmium and lead from spiked kaolinite, compared with experimental results from the literature. The reactive-transport based on the local chemical equilibrium assumption, including a surface complexation to model the adsorption of cations (metals and protons). Comparison of simulation results show different beavior of the target metals, as cadmium is mainly retaind by surface interaction while lead is retained by precipitation of a solid phase.

Abstract
This paper studies the possible differences in the behavior of lead as a contaminant in soil samples when it is present as "naturally-aged" for decades after the contamination, and when it has been spiked in the laboratory. This behavior differences are stablished mainly in two ways: as changes in the fractionation analysis obtained after a sequential extraction procedure (SEP) and as changes in the efficiency of the acid-enhanced electroremediation (EKR) technique. Additionally, aging effects have been studied for almost five years. In the case of the lead-spiked soil the influence of storage conditions on contaminant behavior have also been explored: 1) samples stored in capped containers at constant moisture conditions, and 2) samples in containers open to the atmosphere, with periods of water flooding and drying. Lab-spiked and the "naturally-aged" contaminants show very different behavior with respect not only to SEP analysis but also to EKR experiments. The soil spiked with a soluble lead salt presents a higher percent in the more mobile fractions. Regarding storage conditions, some changes were observed in the lead distribution along the vertical soil profile for samples stored in uncapped containers. The EKR results were also in agreement with those from fractionation analysis. Energy requirements for the remediation were estimated by a mathematical model with important differences obtained for the different soil samples. Results are indicating that it will be very unreliable to draw estimations for the "naturally-aged" soils from contaminant-spiked samples.

Abstract
In the treatment of a polluted soil, the pH has a strong impact on the development of different physicochemical processes as precipitation/dissolution, adsorption/desorption or ionic exchange. In addition, the pH determines the chemical speciation of the compounds present in the system and, consequently, it conditions the transport processes by which those compounds will move. This question has aroused great interest in the development of pH control technologies coupled to soil remediation processes. In electrokinetic remediation processes, pH has usually been controlled by catholyte pH conditioning with acid solutions, applied to cases of heavy metals pollution. However, this method is not effective with pollutants that can be dissociated in anionic species. In this context, this paper presents a study of the electrokinetic remediation of soils polluted with 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, a common polar pesticide, enhanced with an anolyte pH conditioning strategy. A numerical study is proposed to evaluate the effectiveness of the strategy. Several numerical tests have been carried out for NaOH solutions with different concentrations as pH conditioning fluid. The results show that the anolyte pH conditioning strategy makes it possible to control the pH of the soil and, consequently, the chemical speciation of pollutant species. Thus, it is possible to achieve an important flux of pesticide into the anolyte compartment (electro-migration of anionic species and diffusive transport of acid species). This way, it possible to maximise the pesticide accumulation in this compartment, allowing a much more effective removal of pollutants from the soil than without the anolyte pH conditioning strategy.

Abstract
Humin is the component of humic substances that is recalcitrant to extraction by either strong bases or strong acids, which contains a variety of functional groups that may combine with heavy metal ions. The present study employed humin as an adsorbent to investigate the efficacy of a remediation strategy under the effects of humin-enhanced electrokinetics. Because the cations gravitate toward cathode and anions are transferred to anode, humin was placed in close proximity to the cathode in the form of a package. The humin was taken out after the experiments to determine whether a target pollutant (cadmium) might be completely removed from soil. Acetic acid-sodium acetate was selected as the electrolyte for these experiments, which was circulated between the two electrode chambers via a peristaltic pump, in order to control the pH of the soil. The results indicated that when the remediation duration was extended to 240 h, the removal of acid extractable Cd(II) could be up to 43.86% efficiency, and the adsorption of the heavy metal within the humin was 86.15 mg/kg. Further, the recycling of the electrolyte exhibited a good control of the pH of the soil. When comparing the pH of the soil with the circulating electrolyte during remediation, in contrast to when it was not being recycled, the pH of the soil at the anode increased from 3.89 to 5.63, whereas the soil at the cathode decreased from 8.06 to 7.10. This indicated that the electrolyte recycling had the capacity to stabilize the pH of the soil.

Abstract
Understanding the possible pH-buffering processes is of maximum importance for risk assessment and remediation feasibility studies of heavy-metal contaminated soils. This paper presents the results about the effect of the buffering capacity of a polluted soil, rich in carbonates, on the pH and on the leaching evolution of its main contaminant (lead) when a weak acid (acetic acid) or a strong one (nitric acid) are slowly added. In both cases, the behavior of lead dissolution could be predicted using available (scientifically verified freeware) models assuming equilibrium between the solid and the aqueous phase. However, the experimental results indicate that the dissolution of calcium and magnesium carbonates is kinetically controlled. These kinetic limitations affect the overall behavior, and should be considered to understand also the response of the metals under local equilibrium. The well-known BCR sequential extraction procedure was used before- and after-treatment, to fractionate the lead concentration in the soil according to its mobility. The BCR results were also in agreement with the predictions of the equilibrium model. This agreement allows new insights about the information that could be derived from the BCR fractionation analysis.
