Abstract
A one-dimensional model is developed for the electrokinetic treatment of aquifers contaminated with an ionic salt. Electrokinetic removal of amphoteric metals such as zinc and lead is simulated. The use of a we ak acid (acetic acid) to neutralize a portion of the OH- generated ele ctrolytically in the cathode compartment is explored in connection wit h the electrokinetic removal of nonamphoteric metals such as copper an d cadmium.
