Abstract: Electro-kinetic (EK) technique is the study of removal of contaminants in soil specimen under the influence of potential gradient. This technique works when the anions and cations get mobilize towards their respective electrodes inside the specimen, called electro-migration. The purpose of this lab-scale study was to discuss the Ni2+ and Cl- ionic movement inside the soil specimen for remediation cause. Two types of electro-kinetic experiments were designed depending upon the catholyte solution. The experimental results show that the maximum amounts of anions were migrated towards/into anode compartment. The statistical results conclude that Cl- ions removal efficiencies for EXP-1 (distilled water used as catholyte) and EXP-2 (0.1 M of nitric acid HNO₃ used as catholyte) were 52% and 73% respectively.
