Harnessing colloid aggregation: a strategy for targeted heavy metal entrapment in electrokinetic remediation

Key Points

• Heavy metal entrapment increases with colloid aggregation techniques, enhancing remediation efficacy.
• Results indicate a significant improvement in the targeted removal of heavy metals, achieving up to 70% reduction in soil contaminants.
• Assessment using electrokinetic remediation methods tested across various soil types reveals enhanced adsorption rates.
• This approach supports future investigations into scalable applications for contaminated sites.
