Title: Electrokinetic modeling of the enhanced reduction of Cr(VI) in porous media

Conference ·
OSTI ID:20014805

This study has considered the reduction of hexavalent chromium, Cr(VI), to trivalent chromium, Cr(III), by electrokinetically introducing a reducing agent such as ferrous iron, Fe(II), to the contaminated soil medium. The experimental results obtained from this study will be used to develop an electrochemical model using the theory and principles of the Nernst equation to estimate the chromium concentrations remaining in the contaminated soils.
