Summary, in English

In this chapter, we present a model for the reactive-transport of chemical species through partially saturated porous media for electrokinetic remediation processes. A generalized theoretical model is presented, easily adaptable to specific remediation setups, target contaminants and supporting matrices; and we give detailed guidelines for the implementation of tailor-made numerical methods for the computer-aided solution. The model is subdivided into two coupled modules: one for reactive-transport, numerically solved by means of a non-linear finite element method; and another one for chemical equilibrium, solved using an enhanced Newton–Raphson method.
