ELECTRODE PLACEMENT FOR SUBSURFACE ELECTRIC FIELD GENERATION. TECHNICAL NOTE

The authors present a technique for determining the electrode configuration needed to develop a subsurface electric field with specific direction and intensity. The complex potential offers a convenient method of describing the electric field associated with a particular electrode configuration. The authors also describe the electrode configurations required to build various electric fields. Generation of specific electric fields in saturated fine-grain soils and electrochemical environments allows evaluation if the associated electrokinetic forces might drive pollutant species in particular directions to confine the pollutant or establish a barrier. The subsurface electric field can be combined with specific bacteria for electrobioremediation.
