An unmatched reference on electrochemical technologies for soil,sediment, and groundwater pollution remediation
Electrochemical technologies are emerging as importantapproaches for effective and efficient pollution remediation, bothon their own and in concert with other remediation techniques.Electrochemical Remediation Technologies for Polluted Soils,Sediments and Groundwater provides a systematic and clearexplanation of fundamentals, field applications, as well asopportunities and challenges in developing and implementingelectrochemical remediation technologies. Written by leadingauthorities in their various areas, the text summarizes the latestresearch and offers case studies that illustrate equipment,installation, and methods employed in real-world remediations.
Divided into nine sections, the coverage includes:
* Introduction and fundamental principles
* Remediation of heavy metals and other inorganic pollutants
* Remediation of organic pollutants
* Remediation of mixed contaminants
* Electrokinetic barriers
* Integrated (coupled) technologies
* Mathematical modeling
* Economic and regulatory considerations
* Field applications and performance assessment
Unique as a comprehensive reference on the subject,Electrochemical Remediation Technologies for Polluted Soils,Sediments and Groundwater will serve as a valuable resource toall environmental engineers, scientists, regulators, andpolicymakers.

Über Autor(innen)

Krishna R. Reddy is Professor of Civil and EnvironmentalEngineering at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). Dr.Reddy received his PhD in Civil Engineering from the IllinoisInstitute of Technology, Chicago. He received gold medals for beingfirst in his class of BS (Civil Engineering) at Osmania Universityand MS (Civil Engineering) at the Indian Institute of Technology,Roorkee. His teaching and research expertise includes remediationof contaminated sites, waste containment systems, and beneficialreuse of waste/recycled materials. His research contributed to theunderstanding of fundamental geochemical processes and developmentof integrated electrochemical technologies to remediate contaminantmixtures. He is the coauthor of Geoenvironmental Engineering:Site Remediation, Waste Containment, and Emerging Waste ManagementTechnologies, also published by Wiley.
Claudio Cameselle is Associate Professor in theDepartment of Chemical Engineering at the University of Vigo,Spain. He received his undergraduate degree and his PhD inchemistry at the University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain. Hethen moved to the University of Vigo, where he has been working asa faculty member for the last fourteen years. He spent a sabbaticalyear as visiting professor at the University of Illinois at Chicagoin 2008. His teaching activities are in the areas of chemicalengineering and environmental engineering. In recent years, hisresearch activity has focused on the development of electrokineticremediation for the treatment of soils and sludges polluted withheavy metals and organics.
