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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Adsorption as a process for produced water treatment: A review
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article Review)
Produced water (PW) is a by-product of oil and gas operations, and its production is foreseen to increase in the upcoming years. Such an increase is justified by various entities through their projection of the expected ...
Electrocatalytic arsenite oxidation in bicarbonate solutions combined with CO2 reduction to formate
