Compost Aided Electrokinetic Remediation of an Hydrocarbon Polluted Soil
An electrokinetic treatment was applied to a weathered hydrocarbon polluted soil compost amended. Results have shown an enhancement in hydrocarbon removal since initial concentration was 18700 mg Kg−1, electroremediated soil ended with 7410 mg-Kg−1, while the compost aided electroremediated soil lowered its concentration to 3250 mg-Kg−1. GC-MS soil analysis evidenced complex molecules at the anode section, while simplest molecules were at the cathode section, in this section survival of Eisenia Andrei worms was higher than 90%.
