M.A. Martínez-Prado, J. Unzueta-Medina and M.E. Pérez-López

 

 

  • Comparison of leaching, bioremediation, electroremediation, and electrobioremediation in the treatment of soil contaminated with THP.

  • Influence of electric current and action of microorganisms in the remediation process in all 4 different treatments evaluated.

  • The remediation of TPH contaminated soil was achieved with the electrobioremediation treatment in a system with effluent recirculation.
