Abstract Slow release of emerging contaminants limits their accessibility from soil to pore water, constraining the treatment efficiency of physio-chemical treatment sites. DC fields mobilize organic contaminants and influence their interactions with geo-matrices such as zeolites. Poor knowledge, however, exists on the joint application of heating and electrokinetic approaches on perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) transport in porous media. Here, we investigated electrokinetic PFOA transport in zeolite-filled percolation columns at varying temperatures. Variations of pseudo-second-order kinetic constants (kPSO) were correlated to the liquid viscosity variations (η) and elctroosmotic flow velocities (vEOF). Applying DC fields and elevated temperature significantly (>37%) decreased PFOA sorption to zeolite. A good correlation between η, vEOF, and kPSO was found and used to develop an approach interlinking the three parameters to predict the joint effects of DC fields and temperature on PFOA sorption kinetics. These findings may give rise to future applications for better tailoring PFOA transport in environmental biotechnology.
