Application of iron-loaded activated carbon electrodes for electrokinetic remediation of chromium-contaminated soil in a three-dimensional electrode system

Abstract Hexavalent chromium from industrial residues is highly mobile in soil and can lead to the contamination of groundwater through runoff and leaching after rainfall. This paper focuses on the three-dimensional (3D) electrokinetic remediation (EKR) of chromium-contaminated soil from an industri...
