Electro-bioremediation at the prototype scale: what it should be learned for the scale-up

A large scale electro-bioremediation test is carried out in a prototype composed by an electrokinetic soil remediation reactor with soil-treatment capacity of 32 m3. Soil polluted with a mixture of Oxyfluorfen and 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid undergoes a combined treatment in which the electrochem...
