Electrokinetic Remediation and in-situ iron barrier generation
Electrokinetic Remediation and in-situ iron barrier generation
Electrokinetic remediation (EKR; simply put, moving things with electricity) uses low voltage DC current to control the migration (Figure 1) of contaminants in porous media and remove or degrade them. We have previously demonstrated that ex-situ EK techniques can treat plutonium-contaminated wastes at the AWE Aldermaston site1, and the technique is widely applied at scale for the destruction of substrates (soils, etc.) contaminated with organic pollution.
Here, we present our work on using EKR to remediate a range of contaminated substrates, in controlled remediation of real Sellafield materials by growth of in-situ iron barriering.

Abstract
Electrokinetic remediation (EKR; simply put, moving things with electricity) uses low voltage DC current to control the migration (Figure 1) of contaminants in porous media and remove or degrade them. We have previously demonstrated that ex-situ EK techniques can treat plutonium-contaminated wastes at the AWE Aldermaston site1, and the technique is widely applied at scale for the destruction of substrates (soils, etc.) contaminated with organic pollution.
Here, we present our work on using EKR to remediate a range of contaminated substrates, in controlled remediation of real Sellafield materials by growth of in-situ iron barriering.
