Soil remediation by electro-Fenton (EF) process has been recently proposed in literature. Being applied for solution treatment, EF is mainly combined with soil washing (SW)/soil flushing (SF) separation techniques to remove the organic pollutants. The main criteria influencing the combined process have been identified as (1) operating parameters (electrode materials, current density, and catalyst (Fe2+) concentration), (2) the matrix composition (nature and dose of extracting agent, pH, complexity of SW/SF solutions), and (3) the environmental impact (acute ecotoxicity and biodegradability of effluent as well as impact on soil microbial activity). The influence of these parameters on the SW/EF and SF/EF integrated processes has been reviewed. Energy consumption calculations have been finally considered as it constitutes the main source of operating cost in EF process.
