In the present study, the electrokinetic technology was coupled with a permeable reactive barrier (PRB), composed of micro-scale Fe to treat a clay soil contaminated by perchloroethylene (PCE). A non-ionic surfactant, Triton X-100, was selected as the solubility enhancing agent. A series of batch te...
