| Long description: |
A novel electrokinetic technology for groundwater protection, soil remediation and
engineering called Ferric Iron Remediation and Stabilisation (FIRS), has been
developed at the Universities of Brighton and Sussex. The technology involves the
strategic, in situ precipitation of an iron-rich band, which provides a physical and
chemical (i.e. sorptive) barrier to the migration of contaminated waters and liquids.
In addition to the precipitation of the barrier, the applied electric field causes acid
front generation and contaminant desorption, from soil/aquifer materials and electro-
osmotic purging of non-polar contaminants.
This bulletin describes the theory and rationale behind the FIRS technique; details the
developmental work carried out to date; discusses the potential applications of FIRS
to contaminated land remediation and leachate containment, and evaluates the costs
and benefits of the technology in relation to existing commercial remediation
techniques.
