A perforated electrode design for passivation reduction during the electrochemical treatment of produced water
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Produced water refers to the water that is generated when oil and gas are extracted from the ground, and it usually includes the natural water layer within the reservoir (formation water) as well as the injected water. The ...
Immobilization of microbial cells for the biotreatment of wastewater: A review
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Article Review)
Industrial wastewater often contains different complex impurities that are hazardous to the environment and human health, making wastewater treatment a necessity prior to its disposal. This review focuses on cell immobilization ...
A comprehensive review of electrocoagulation for water treatment: Potentials and challenges
(
Academic Press
, 2017 , Article Review)
Electrocoagulation is an effective electrochemical approach for the treatment of different types of contaminated water and has received considerable attention in recent years due its high efficiency in dealing with numerous ...
Destabilization and treatment of produced water-oil emulsions using anionic polyacrylamide with electrolyate of aluminum sulphate and ferrous sulphate
(
Society of Petroleum Engineers
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Surfactant and polymer flooding technology can greatly enhance the oil recovery through the expansion of sweeping and displacing efficiency. The recovered oil from surfactant and polymer flooding emulsifies the residual ...
Vertically oriented nanoporous block copolymer membranes for oil/water separation and filtration
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2020 , Article)
The separation of oil from water and filtration of aqueous solutions and dispersions are critical issues in the processing of waste and contaminated water treatment. Membrane-based technology has been proven as an effective ...
Some theoretical aspects of tertiary treatment of water/oil emulsions by adsorption and coalescence mechanisms: A review
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article Review)
The massive increase in the volumes of oily contaminated produced waters associated with various industrial sectors has initiated considerable technological and scientific efforts related to the development of new cleaning ...
Materials and technologies for the tertiary treatment of produced water contaminated by oil impurities through nonfibrous deep-bed media: A review
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
This review covers various aspects of the treatment of emulsified oil/water mixtures and is particularly focused on tertiary treatment, which means the reduction of the oil content from 70-100 ppm to below 10 ppm, depending ...
Ceramic membrane filtration of produced water: Impact of membrane module
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
Produced water (PW) generated from oil exploration requires rigorous removal of suspended matter (free oil and particulate solids) as tertiary treatment (downstream of hydrocyclone and gas flotation) if it is to be re-injected ...
Heavy metal removal from aqueous solution by advanced carbon nanotubes: Critical review of adsorption applications
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article Review)
The scarcity of water, especially in arid and semi-arid regions of the world is exerting great pressure on resources and establishing more need to provide good quality water for human and other consumptions. Water ...
Steel-Making dust as a potential adsorbent for the removal of lead (II) from an aqueous solution
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
The presence of high concentrations of toxic heavy metals such as lead Pb(II) in water is a major hazard to human health and may have a detrimental effect on the aquatic life and the environment. Implementing an efficient ...
