Groundwater electro-bioremediation via diffuse electro-conductive zones: A critical review by Federico Aulenta, Matteo Tucci, Carolina Cruz Viggi, Stefano Milia, Seyedmehdi Hosseini, Gianluigi Farru, Rajandrea Sethi, Carlo Bianco, Tiziana Tosco, Marios Ioannidis, Giulio Zanaroli, Riccardo Ruffo, Carlo Santoro, Ugo Marzocchi, Giorgio Cassiani, Luca Peruzzo

“…Upon transport and deposition onto soil grains, these particles create an electrically conductive zone that can be exploited to control and fine-tune the delivery of electron donors or acceptors over large distances, thereby driving the process more efficiently. Beyond extending the radius of influence of electrodes, these diffuse electro-conductive zones (DECZ) could also promote the development of syntrophic anaerobic communities that degrade contaminants via direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET). …”
