Solubility-enhanced electrokinetic movement of hexachlorobenzene in sediments…

Abstract. Though solubility-enhanced electrokinetics (EK) has been investigated in remediation of soils contaminated with hydrophobic organic chemicals (HOCs), few comparative studies were performed regarding the effect of varied solubilizing agents on both EK parameters and contaminant removal. In this study, performances of two solubilizing agents, ethanol and methyl--cyclodextrin (MCD),…
