  • Patent number: 11759836
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electrokinetic-aeration-liquid injection combined remediation method for compound contaminated soil containing heavy metals and organic substances, and belongs to the field of contaminated soil remediation. According to the present application, in the combined remediation method, the electrokinetic remediation method enables water in soil to migrate from bottom to top to drive heavy metals and organic substances to be enriched towards the top; bubbles generated by the aeration method are diffused from the bottom to the top to drive volatile organic compounds to move towards the top soil. During liquid injection process, the electrolyte is driven to move from bottom to top under the action of electrokinetic remediation flow, which can keep the pH of the soil stable and remediate heavy metals and organic pollutants. The whole processes are simultaneously completed by adopting the dual-channel porous EKG electrode designed by the present application, which is efficient and convenient.

  • Patent number: 11619020
    Abstract: Disclosed is a sludge three-dimensional electroosmosis drainage reinforcing method based on a novel electric geotextile complex, and belongs to the field of soft soil foundation reinforcement. A novel electric geotextile complex is adopted, and a designed multidirectional three-dimensional continuous electroosmosis drainage method is adopted to perform rapid drainage reinforcement treatment on sludge, wherein the electric geotextile complex is prepared by combining fibers and conductive materials with a flexible drainage plate and has the effects of electric conductive, drainage, corrosion resistance and reinforcement. The proposed drainage method can realize the electroosmotic drainage in vertical and horizontal directions. Through layer by layer electroosmosis from bottom to top, the consolidation drainage effect of sludge in the lower layer can be enhanced by the increasing loading pressure from the upper sludge.
