An Analysis of Methods and Technologies for Improving Electrochemical Remediation in Contaminated Soils in Order to Achieve Green Technology, a New Step In Sustainable Environmental Development

Recently, many concerns have been raised about the soil contamination as a result of anthropogenic activities associated with the environment. Heavy metals and organic pollutants are the most important pollutants released into the environment. Therefore, to achieve a cost-effective and sustainable technique to remove contaminants is necessary. The Electrokinetic remediation in the development and application of green technologies is able to remove a wide range of pollutants or converting them into compounds with lower toxicity. On the other hand, communication media, as informative tools, can affect social change. This article is intended to be a practical purpose by utilizing the media tool and in the framework of environmental communication through a descriptive-analytical method of the documentary type. This paper also considers the fundamental concepts of electrochemical remediation, considering the challenges facing this process, which leads to reduced efficiency. The removal of pollutants will examine the various techniques and technologies used in electrokinetic to improve the remediation efficiency. At the end of the research, future work to improve the electrokinetic is presented. According to the results of this paper, electrokinetic coupled with various detergents and chemical & biological oxidants greatly helps keep pollutants in solution form by adjusting soil pH. While increasing the efficiency of removing pollutants, and enabling a reduction in energy consumption. While the use of Geo-Synthetic materials reduces electrode corrosion significantly. Also, biological methods, while increasing biodegradability of disintegrating pollutants makes possible to convert electrokinetic into a green technology using a variety of environmentally eco-friendly adsorbent mixtures.
