Abstract

Ground water is utilized as one of important water resources as well as surface wa- ter. However, ground water in many aquifers has been seriously contaminated due to the migration of hazardous organic and inorganic chemicals from the disporsal of solid and liquid wastes. In order to investigate the characteristics of nonsteady process of the electrokinetic remediation, a mathematical model based on physic- ochemical mass transport theory has been developed. The electrokinetic remedi- ation is relatively new and is an innovative in situ technique to remove the pollu- tants from contaminated ground water and soil. With use of the model the removal of heavy metal (Cu) from pore water is simulated numerically. The results of the simulation have theoretically proved that
