Abstract
Electrochemical remediation of the environment is gaining widespread acceptance due to the mild conditions used, the cleanliness of the electron as a reagent, the easiness for automation, its versatility, etc. In this paper three phenomena are presented at the microscale level, originating from the application of an electric field to a simulated soil sample: a) Demonstration of metal ion migration, b) Demonstration of the creation and movement of an acidic and a basic front, and c) Demonstration of water movement through soil.

J. G. IbanezJournal of Chemical Education2001 78 (6), 778Many polluting gases can be transformed to nonpolluting--or at least, less polluting--forms by changing the oxidation states of one or more of their constituent atoms. This can often be achieved by transferring electrons to or from the pollutant from or ...
