Electrokinetics Across Disciplines and Continents : New Strategies for Sustainable Development : Springer : 9783319363363 : 3319363360 : 23 Aug 2016 : The socio-economic activities due to world development are promoting increasing pressures on land, creating competition and conflicts, resulting in suboptimal use of resources. Integrated planning and management of land resources is a top subject of Agenda 21 (managed by FAO), which deals with the cross-sectoral aspects of decision-making for the sustainable use and development of natural resources. This is essential for life-support systems and its productive capacity. In this context, there is a need to find new strategies for sustainable development that links social and economic progress with environmental protection and enhancement. Electrokinetic transport processes (EK) uses a low-level direct current as the ?cleaning agent?. EK has been applied to the remediation of polluted soils and other contaminated matrices. It also shows a
