In recent years, the development of suitable technologies for the remediation of environmental contaminations has attracted much attention. Among these, electrochemical approaches have gained a prominent place thanks to the many possible applications and their proven effectiveness. This is particularly evident in the case of inorganic/ionic...

The possible optimization of metal recovery from Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs)and Central Processing Units (CPUs)has been investigated. Usual practice is to recover primarily the metals with the highest market price. In contrast, the present work shows how strategic considerations of the value share (%)of metals content and data regarding the...

The composition of spent hydrochloric acid-based pickling liquors, deriving from the galvanizing industry, greatly depends on how long the bath has been used for pickling. We considered solutions containing 40–50 g L−1 of iron and zinc (as FeCl2 and ZnCl2) and 130–220 g L−1 of chloride, and used tri-butyl phosphate (TBP) and di-(2-ethylhexyl)...

The ElectroKinetic Remediation Technology (EKRT), when applied to an earthy matrix, is generally targeted to the extraction of one or more pollutants, often inorganic and typically belonging to the category of heavy metals. The technique exploits the effects caused by the application of an electric field for allowing the mobilization of the...

In order to assess the capabilities of a remediation technology, and to judge of its efficacy, it is necessary to evaluate the initial average contamination level of the soil, an operation that can be difficult because of the inhomogeneity of the contamination itself. The goal is even more challenging when different contaminants are present,...
