Electroosmosis can solve the technical difficulties associated with rapid drainage in environmental protection and geotechnical engineering applications. Electroosmotic efficiency is a crucial indicator for evaluating the economic benefits and technical effects of electroosmosis. The mineral composition and water content of the soil are the index factors affecting electroosmotic efficiency. Through electroosmosis experiments, some useful results are obtained: (1) Electroosmotic efficiency is related to the properties of pore water in soil and the ratio of free water to adsorbed water content. The mechanism reflects the effect of the interaction between minerals and water. (2) When the water content is above or below the liquid limit, the energy dissipation coefficient increases slowly or rapidly as the water content decreases, respectively. (3) The energy dissipation coefficient has a threshold with respect to the water content. When the water content decreases to this threshold, the energy dissipation coefficient increases sharply. (4) Adding non-hydrophilic minerals to clay increases the number of large pores and reduces the proportion of small pores in the soil, which reduces the energy dissipation coefficient.

电渗可以解决环保和岩土工程应用中与快速排水相关的技术难题。电渗效率是评估电渗经济效益和技术效果的关键指标。土壤的矿物质组成和水分含量是影响电渗效率的指标因素。通过电渗实验，获得了一些有用的结果：（1）电渗效率与土壤孔隙水的性质以及游离水与吸附水的比例有关。该机制反映了矿物质与水之间相互作用的影响。（2）当水含量高于或低于液体极限时，能量消耗系数随着水含量的降低而分别缓慢或迅速地增加。（3）能量耗散系数具有关于水含量的阈值。当水含量降低到该阈值时，能量耗散系数急剧增加。（4）在粘土中添加非亲水性矿物会增加大孔隙的数量，减少土壤中小孔隙的比例，从而降低能量耗散系数。
