METHOD AND DEVICE FOR THE ELIMINATION OF TOXIC MATERIALS FROM, IN PARTICULAR, THE TOPSOIL

摘要

The invention concerns a method of eliminating toxic materials (S) from, in particular, the topsoil (GA) by applying a voltage by means of electrodes (A, K) inserted in the topsoil (GA). In order to eliminate the toxic materials (S), an electric field (F) is generated round the electrodes by the applied voltage, the electric field (F) being large enough for toxic materials (S) which are not electrokinetically transportable to be destroyed (in situ).
