Abstract
The aim of this work was to investigate the effects of soil
properties and Pb distribution on the electrodialytic remediation
of Pb contaminated soil. Two naturally Pb contaminated soils were
compared with respect to total Pb content, Pb distribution, pH,
carbonate content, clay content and organic matter, and an
electrodialytic remediation experiment was made on each soil.It
was concluded that soil pH was the most important factor limiting
the mobilisation of Pb. In one of the remediation experiments it
was possible to mobilise and reduce the amount of Pb
significantly, whereas in the other only a small amount of the
initial Pb was mobilised at similar experimental conditions. A
high buffering capacity of one of the soils, which was partly due
to a high carbonate content, led to a bad remediation result.
