ELECTROREMEDIATION

"An electroosmotic process for removing soluble contaminants from soil. Electrosmosis is carried out in the wet soil with strategically placed electrodes, resulting in a movement of the contaminants toward the electrodes thereby cleansing the soil and concentrating the contaminants in a small volume of soil around the electrodes from where they can be easily removed. Also called ""electrokinetic remediation"" ""electroosmotic remediation"" and ""soil remediation."" "
