Electrokinetic remediation (EK) and its combined methods are emerging technologies to remove POPs from contaminated soils in situ in last decade. This paper reviews the five major kinds of electrokinetic remediation methods for POPs from contaminated soils: (1) Classic electrokinetic method; (2) Electrokinetic-Fenton method; (3) Electrokinetic remediation combining with bioremediation method; (4) Electrokinetic remediation combining with surfactants/cosolvents method; (5) Electrokinetic remediation combining with ultrasonic method. The basic principle, characteristics, application areas and research developments of those five methods are discussed respectively. The future development direction of EK remediation for POPs from contaminated soils is anticipated.

Electrokinetic remediation (EKR) is a proficient, environmentally friendly separation technology for in-situ removal of contaminants in soil/sediment, distinguished for its ease of implementation and minimal prerequisites compared to other remediation technologies. To comprehensively understand the research focus and progress related to EKR of contaminated soil/sediment, a bibliometric analysis was conducted on 1593 publications retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) database. This analysis utilized data mining and knowledge discovery techniques through Bibliometrix, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace software.

The hydrophobic, hard-to-naturally-decompose compounds, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and pesticides, are categorized as persistent organic pollutants (POPs). POPs are toxic/hazardous and present serious risks to human health. Electrokinetic (EK) remediation is highly flexible and cost-effective, suitable for both in-situ and ex-situ applications.

In situ remediation of low-permeability soils contaminated with trichloroethylene (TCE) is challenging due to limited mass transfer and low bioavailability in clay soils. The electrokinetic-enhanced bioremediation (EK-BIO) system offers a promising solution by combining electrokinetics with bioremediation to address these challenges. While previous studies have demonstrated microbial succession and TCE removal, the long-term performance of dechlorination and interactions between electrode reactions and anaerobic dechlorination remain unclear.

2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) is a high-toxicity phenol compound, which is difficult to remove, poses a threat to human health, and seriously damages the soil ecosystems. In this study, an emerging technology, Electrokinetic (EK) remediation, was used to enhance the mobility of persulfate for remediation of soils contaminated with 2,4-dichloropropanol. In order to improve the overall removal efficiency of 2,4-DCP, NaSO activated by humic acid (HA) on the remediate effect was investigated.

In this work, we designed and developed a facile solar thermoelectric generator (STEG)-based system and a new electrokinetic remediation (EKR) system, which consists of main electrodes and unenergized auxiliary electrodes. The prepared nanocomposite was investigated for the effectiveness of the STEG+PANI-CNT/GF system in remediating Cr-contaminated. Photothermal performance test were applied in order to examine this STEG could export a power density of 365.
