For this study, an electro kinetic method used to eliminate cadmium from the polluted soil. This method is useful at low permeability medium. Several experiments were conducted with variable operating circumstances, using different pH purging solutions. Rice husks were used in this work as an adsorbent medium available and free of charge to counteract the reverse osmosis process that occurs and affects the work efficiency. The final results after the end of the practical experiments of this process showed that the percentages of the removal process began to increase after the pH gradually decreases. The pH of the solution for the three experiments conducted was 3, 6 and 9, respectively. The best removal rate was 68% in this process at pH 3 ; when compared with the second and third tests at pH 6 and 9, the removal ratios were 58% and 51.5%, respectively. It was discovered that the cadmium removal rate began to decrease along with voltage. At 30 volts the removal rates were 68%, whereas 20 volts they were 66%. Rice husks have been shown to be an effective adsorbent for counteracting reverse osmosis. Therefore, it can be successfully used as an adsorbent medium.

In this paper, an electro-kinetic technique was applied to remove chromium from contaminated soil. This technique is appropriate for the soils with low permeability. Various experiments were carried out under different operating conditions, including various purging solutions. Garlic peels powder (GPP) was used in this study as a cheap adsorbent substance to avert the flow of reverse osmosis, which may affect the removal percentage. The results proved that the removal percentage increased as the pH of the purging solutions decreased. The first three experiments were performed with purging solution at pH of 4, 6, and 8 respectively. The highest removal percentage was 66.3% at pH of 4 compared to the other two experiments at pH of 6 and 8, where the removal percentages were 53.3% and 49.7%, respectively. This paper showed that the percentage of chromium removal decreased along with the voltage. The removal percentage at 1.5 V/cm was 66.3%, while at 1 V/cm was 61%. Garlic peels powder (GPP) is considered as an effective adsorbent material to avert the reverse osmosis flow. Therefore, the use of this material in this study will give a new impression on the application of these products as an absorbent medium.

The continuous system of lead adsorption on rice husks was investigated in this paper. A fixed bed study was performed in many tests to investigate the influence of pH, the adsorbent height, the initial concentration of lead, the flow rate and processing time on the lead adsorption process. The results demonstrated that the lead removal capacity decreased when the pH value of the solution and the flow rate increased. The lead removal capacity increased due to the decreased initial concentration of lead. The results showed that the removal capacity increases along with the processing time and the adsorbent height in column. The largest removal was (81%) at pH of 4, the adsorbent height (50 cm), the initial concentration of lead (10 mg/l), the processing time (90 min.) and the flow rate (10 ml/min.). As a result, rice husks can be used to remove the lead instead of expensive commercial adsorbents, due to its availability, inexpensive and perfect adsorption property.
