Abstract

The contamination of soil from heavy metals (HMs), petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs), and pesticides have become a serious environmental problem in the current world. The pollution has resulted from anthropogenic activities, rapid industrialization, and urbanization. Pesticides are used extensively in farming activities to meet the increasing demand for food and feed. The pollutants change the physicochemical and microbiological characteristics of soil and have mutagenic, carcinogenic, immunotoxic, and teratogenic effects on human health. There is an urgent necessity for sustainable and eco-friendly remediation technologies for the elimination of contaminants from soil. Electrokinetic-assisted remediation (EKR) is an opportune technology for complete remediation of polluted soil including fine-grained soils, which are typically difficult to clean-up using traditional bioremediation and phytoremediation approaches because of several drawbacks. Electrokinetic-Assisted Bioremediation (EKBR) and Electrokinetic-Assisted Phytoremediation (EKPR) are novel and effective technologies for soil remediation which decontaminate heavy metal, remove PHCs and pesticides from polluted soils. This chapter emphasizes electrokinetic-assisted remediation, current development, process, field applications, advantages, disadvantages, and further prospects.
