Methods for enhancing phytoextraction of contaminants from porous media using electrokinetic phenomena
Methods for enhancing phytoextraction of contaminants from porous media using electrokinetic phenomena
The present invention relates to a method of remediating soil, water, and other porous media contaminated with organic and/or inorganic contaminants using plants in conjunction with an electric field applied through the medium to control movement of the contaminants and enhance removal of the contaminants from the medium. Applying an electric field in soil induces electromigration (movement of ions in the pore fluid), as well as electroosmosis (movement of pore water) and electrophoresis (movement of charged particles in soil such as colloids). In the present invention these phenomena are beneficially utilized to control the transport of charged and/or non-charged contaminants in soil within the plant root zone (rhizosphere) and to bring contaminants into the root zone, perhaps from a contaminated zone located deeper in the soil than the root zone. The effectiveness of the phytoremediation is also enhanced by preventing the soil from becoming so strongly acidic or basic as to kill the plants. The present invention significantly extends the utility of phytoremediation to cleanup of soils with deeper contamination plumes than are typically accessible to the roots of plants.

Method of converting current for improving the soil by electroosmosis and the apparatus thereof
Method of converting current for improving the soil by electroosmosis and the apparatus thereof
When an electric potential is applied across a wet soil mass, cations of double layer in a soil would be attracted to the cathode and anions to the anode. As these cations migrate to the cathode, they drag water with them. Because there are more cations than anions in a soil containing negatively charged clay particles, there is a net flow of water towards the cathode. Since the flows of water towards the cathode cause soil consolidation. The electroosmosis of ground improvement on soft ground has been carried out by Casagrande. However, the method was not applied widely. It uses the filter or the rectifier to filter the minus wave of the alternating current having the sine wave of alternate plus and minus or to convert the minus wave to plus wave. Electric potential is applied by the harmonic wave of direct current, and the chloride and silicate solutions are injected via the grouting pipe near the anode and the relaying grouting pipe into soil. The injected chloride and silicate solutions increase conductivity of the soil and amount of drained water. Such process will also cause soil particles cemented. The new electroosmosis with the injection of chloride saline solution and the relaying grouting pipe can certainly enhance the electroosmostic effect of improvement, shorten the time of treatment and increase improvement range. Furthermore, owing to use the filter or the rectifier to replace the traditional rectifier transforming to constant voltage, it can reduce substantially the facility cost of electroosmosis.

An apparatus and method of assisting the driving of a hollow pile into soil by electro-osmosis in which electrical direct current is directed downwardly through the inside of the pile, out the bottom of the pile, and up the outside of the pile whereby water on the inside of the pile moves through the soil thereby making the pile easier to drive into the soil. The method includes insulating an electrically conductive pile preferably on the inside with an electrical non-conductor and placing water inside of the hollow pile. An electrical circuit having a d-c power source, and an anode and cathode is provided in which the anode is placed in the water inside of the hollow pile and the cathode is placed outside of the hollow pile and in electrical communication with the outside of the electrical conductive pile whereby an electrical circuit is formed between the anode and cathode through the water in the inside of the pile and through the bottom of the pile. When electrical power is supplied to the circuit, water will move down the inside of the pile and up the outside of the pile and into the soil adjacent the pile making the pile easier to drive through the soil. In addition, after the pile has been driven, the current flow may be reversed through the electrical circuit for reducing the water content of the soil adjacent the pile thereby increasing the load bearing strength of the soil.

METHOD AND DEVICE FOR TREATING WATER-CONTAINING SOIL ON SITE BY ELECTROOSMOSIS
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR TREATING WATER-CONTAINING SOIL ON SITE BY ELECTROOSMOSIS
PURPOSE:To directly treat water-contg. soil on the treating site with a simple structure and to provide a device capable of treating the soil by electroosmosis without
contaminating the environment around the site. CONSTITUTION:An electrode combination 2 consisting of a central electrode 2A and plural peripheral electrodes 2B surrounding the electrode 2A is successively and adjacently arranged in the water-contg. soil treating region. Current and voltage are impressed in parallel between the electrode combinations to dehydrate the soil by electroosmosis, and then the polarity of the impressed voltage is inverted to restore the value of the treating region.; Since the structure is simple and a mechanically operating part is not needed, the soil is directly treated on the site, and the secondary contamination of the treated soil or its surroundings due to the change in # value is prevented as a current is applied in the reverse direction.

Method and device for regulating and optimizing transport of humidity by means of electroosmosis
Method and device for regulating and optimizing transport of humidity by means of electroosmosis
In a method for regulating and optimizing transport of liquid in a porous structure by means of electroosmosis, a pulse pattern applied to one or more electrode pairs which are used during the electroosmosis is regulated by detecting a potential difference INCREMENT Vp over the electrode pair or electrode pairs during the duration t3 of a neutral pulse which forms part of the pulse pattern and subsequently regulating either the duration t3 of the neutral pulse or the duration Tp of the pulse pattern or both on the basis of the detected potential difference INCREMENT Vp and any change therein from measuring cycle to measuring cycle. A device for implementing the method comprises a power source with a pulse generator which supplies the desired pulse patterns to one or more electrode pairs (A, K) with the anode (A) provided in the porous structure and the cathode (K) in earth respectively, a voltage detector connected in series via each electrode pair (A, K) and a program control unit in a loop between the voltage detector and the power source's pulse generator.
