Abstract
En 中文
The escalating global concern over soil and water contamination necessitates innovative and integrated remediation strategies. Electrokinetic remediation (EKR) has emerged as a versatile and scalable technique capable of mobilizing a wide range of contaminants under controlled electric fields. This review presents a critical and systematic analysis of recent advancements in EKR, encompassing laboratory-scale investigations, field-scale implementations, and comparative performance across diverse environmental matrices. This work emphasizes the synergistic integration of EKR with emerging technologies -including nanomaterials, phytoremediation, bioremediation, and advanced oxidation processes - highlighting their potential to overcome the conventional EKR limitations such as low efficiency in heterogeneous soils and energy consumption. By synthesizing case studies across varied geographies and contaminant profiles, this review identifies key knowledge gaps in scalability, contaminant specificity, and long-term sustainability. It concludes by outlining future research directions, focusing on material innovation, system optimization, and techno-economic feasibility to guide the next generation of hybrid EKR-based remediation technologies.
