The use of electrokinetics to enhance the degradation of organic contaminants in soils (original) (raw)

The application of electrokinetics to enhance the degradation of organic contaminants in soils was investigated, particularly focusing on pentachlorophenol (PCP). This method aims to improve the bioavailability of contaminants for bacterial bioremediation, addressing a key limitation in current remediation strategies. The research demonstrated that applying an electric field can significantly increase the transport and degradation of PCP in contaminated soils, leading to faster remediation outcomes.
