| Abstract: | Metal and acid ions contamination of soil in China is serious. To find an efficient solution for remediating the combined pollution,electrokinetics( EK) coupled with chitosan( CTS)permeable reactive barrier( EK/CPRB) was used to investigate the performances of metal and acid ions remediation. Adsorption characteristics of Zn~(2+),Fe~(3+),Ca~(2+),SO_4~(2-) and NO_3~- onto CTS were also conducted. The results showed the sorption of Zn~(2+),Fe~(3+),Ca~(2+),SO_4~(2-) and NO_3~- on CTS could be well described by Freundlich model. When the CTS dosage is 8 g,the total removal efficiency for Zn~(2+),Fe~(3+),Ca~(2+),SO_4~(2-) and NO_3~- is 86. 8%,90. 2%,92. 4%,90. 0% and 82. 5%,respectively. CTS enhanced ions remediation efficiencies significantly compared with the single EK system,especially for SO_4~(2-) and NO_3~-. The results indicate EK/CPRB system is suitable for the remediation of soil contaminated by both metal ions and acid ions. |
