Abstract: The invention relates to the decontamination of heterogeneous soil with an unbroken structure contaminated with various organic and non-organic pollution agents (heavy metals, petroleum products etc.). The inventive method consists in introducing anode and cathode electrodes into the soil, dividing the region with the contaminated heterogeneous soil into zones in accordance with the soil characteristics and feeding each zone with a corresponding direct-current voltage. Said method decreases the energy cost for decontaminating the soil by taking into account the nature of the pollution agent, the concentration and distribution thereof in the region to be decontaminated.
