Soil remediation by salinity waves

Key question

Could salinity waves mobilize colloidal particles in soil samples, thereby efficiently remediate contaminated soils?

Key results

• To document, understand and quantify the effect of salinity gradients on the movements of colloidal particles inside 2D and 3D confined space. 

• To verify the possibility of soil remediation by salinity waves.

Key impact

To provide an easy, cost-effective approach for soil remediation with low environmental footprint.
