ELECTROKINETIC-AERATION-LIQUID INJECTION COMBINED REMEDIATION METHOD FOR COMPOUND CONTAMINATED SOIL CONTAINING HEAVY METALS AND ORGANIC SUBSTANCES

Disclosed is an electrokinetic-aeration-liquid injection combined remediation method for compound contaminated soil containing heavy metals and organic substances, and belongs to the field of contaminated soil remediation. According to the present application, in the combined remediation method, the electrokinetic remediation method enables water in soil to migrate from bottom to top to drive heavy metals and organic substances to be enriched towards the top; bubbles generated by the aeration method are diffused from the bottom to the top to drive volatile organic compounds to move towards the top soil. During liquid injection process, the electrolyte is driven to move from bottom to top under the action of electrokinetic remediation flow, which can keep the pH of the soil stable and remediate heavy metals and organic pollutants. The whole processes are simultaneously completed by adopting the dual-channel porous EKG electrode designed by the present application, which is efficient and convenient.

SYSTEM FOR ACCELERATING SALT LEACHING AND DRAINAGE OF SOIL BASED ON NEGATIVE PRESSURE

The present disclosure provides a system for accelerating salt leaching and drainage of soil based on a negative pressure, and relates to the technical field of soil improvement. The system includes a concealed pipe. The concealed pipe is communicated with a negative pressure chamber. The negative pressure chamber is communicated with an air extracting pump through an air extraction port, and the air extracting pump is configured to evacuate the negative pressure chamber. In the present disclosure, the concealed pipe is arranged, the structure of the concealed pipe is improved, and the negative pressure chamber is arranged between the air extracting pump and the concealed pipe. By evacuating the negative pressure chamber to form a negative pressure area around the concealed pipe for field drainage, the drainage of water in soil is accelerated by the pressure difference, thereby improving the efficiency of drainage and salt leaching per unit time.
