The effect of non-ionic sufactant on electrokinetic remediation of railroad soil contaminated with lubricant oils

초록

Recently, the contamination of soils by various hazardous pollutants has gained interest. In the railroad, the leakage of lubricants oils from rolling stocks and maintenance of facilities like turnout occur frequently and therefore the soil around the railroad is highly contaminated. However, the researches on removal of lubricant oils from railroad soil have been rarely conducted. In this study, electrokinetic remediation of railroad soil contaminated with lubricant oils, especially the effect of non-ionic surfactants, was investigated.
