An unmatched reference on electrochemical technologies for soil, sediment, and groundwater pollution remediation
Electrochemical technologies are emerging as important approaches for effective and efficient pollution remediation, both on their own and in concert with other remediation techniques. Electrochemical Remediation Technologies for Polluted Soils, Sediments and Groundwater provides a systematic and clear explanation of fundamentals, field applications, as well as opportunities and challenges in developing and implementing electrochemical remediation technologies. Written by leading authorities in their various areas, the text summarizes the latest research and offers case studies that illustrate equipment, installation, and methods employed in real-world remediations.
Divided into nine sections, the coverage includes:
Introduction and fundamental principles
Remediation of heavy metals and other inorganic pollutants
Remediation of organic pollutants
Remediation of mixed contaminants
Electrokinetic barriers
Integrated (coupled) technologies
Mathematical modeling
Economic and regulatory considerations
Field applications and performance assessment
Unique as a comprehensive reference on the subject, Electrochemical Remediation Technologies for Polluted Soils, Sediments and Groundwater will serve as a valuable resource to all environmental engineers, scientists, regulators, and policymakers.
“This is a good book; with more editorial effort it could have been a great book.” (European Journal of Soil Science, 1 August 2010)
"The book will serve as a valuable reference for anyone currently working in the field of electrokinetics technology, as well as anyone who is interested in the topic and desires a concise yet comprehensive coverage of the subject." (International Journal of Earth Sciences and Engineering, December 2009) "The 66 authors have covered the most diverse aspects of this technology in the book, the editors' efforts should be praised, as they have managed to amalgamate the various contributions into a homogeneous, very readable and practical work. The descriptions are clear and understandable, and they are easy to translate into practical applications" ( Land Contamination & Reclamation, February 2ISBN: 9780470383438
