Electrokinetic remediation (EKR) has shown great potential for the remediation of in situ contaminated soils. For heavy metal-contaminated soft clay with high moisture content and low permeability, an electrokinetic remediation method with electrolytes placed above the ground surface is used to avoid issues such as electrolyte leakage and secondary contamination that may arise from directly injecting electrolytes into the soil. In this context, using this novel experimental device, a set of citric acid (CA)-enhanced EKR tests were conducted to investigate the optimal design parameters for Cu- and Zn-contaminated soft clay.

This paper presents the design and construction of vacuum preloading incorporated with electroosmosis (VPE) engineering application for the treatment of soft soil on complex terrain for sluice foundation excavation in order to reduce the amount of cement used in construction. Monitoring was conducted during the VPE treatment and laboratory geotechnical tests were carried out once the treatment came to an end. Results show that the electrification mode has a significant influence on electric energy consumption.
