Abstract
In Chhattisgarh State, arsenic content in soil is usually moderate to high. However, on some industrial sites like in Bhilai Steel Plant Bhilai, certain effluent discharges can lead to high concentrations of this chemical in the soil. After periods of rainfall and runoff, arsenic can also be found in water. In this context, Indian researchers investigated the potential of contaminations to remove arsenic from contaminated soils and waters. In addition, Electrokinetic model is developed in laboratory which has shown that, depending on soil conditions, these models are able to remove heavy metals in polluted soils by 85-90%. Overall, this research paper provides new insights into the decontamination and the bioremediation method of soils.
