Influence of electrode configuration on electrokinetic-enhanced persulfate oxidation remediation of PAH-contaminated soil.
2020
Electrokinetic (EK) remediation combined with in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) can be applied to low permeability organic contaminated soil. However, the effects of electrode configuration on EK-oxidation remediation remain unclear. In this study, EK-ISCO remediation of real polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated soil under different electrode configurations was conducted. The results showed that increasing the number of anodes and electrode pairs in one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) electrode configuration was conducive to migration of oxidants into the system. The change in soil pH after remediation in 2D electrode configuration was not obvious, but the increase of soil electrical conductivity (EC) was higher than that of the 1D electrode configuration. The removal rates of PAHs in 2D electrode configurations (35.9-40.9%) were relatively higher than those of the 1D electrode configurations (0.54-31.6%), and the hexagonal electrode configuration yielded the highest pollutant removal efficiency, reaching 40.9%. The energy consumption under 2D electrode configuration was smaller than that under 1D electrode configuration, and the energy consumption of per gram removed PAHs in the hexagon configuration (66.74 kWh (g PAHs)-1) was lowest in all electrode configurations. Overall, the results of this study suggest that 2D electrode configuration is better than 1D and hexagonal electrode configuration is an optimal electrode configuration.
