Description
Summary:Herein, we report the optimization of Pb(II) ions removal from soil by electrokinetic remediation, using the response surface methodology (RSM) based on central composite design (CCD) describing individual and interactive effects of three chosen variables: the current intensity (I), electrolyte concentration (C) and remediation time (t). Sulfuric acid was selected as the electrolyte medium. The physicochemical properties of the soil were well characterized. The electrokinetic remediation (EKR) experiments were performed in galvanostatic mode, at constant current intensity. The lead Pb(II) content was measured using the atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). Designing and modeling of the experimental runs were done using the Design Expert software. The results establish that the quadratic polynomial model matches the experimental data between the removal efficiency (η %) and the influencing factors. The obtained p-values (
