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 ...
A review of MXenes as emergent materials for dye removal from wastewater
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
MXenes have emerged as a superlative contestant water purification technology due to their two-dimensional multilayered structures, multifarious chemical composition, photocatalytic properties, and activated metallic ...
From Waste to Watts: Updates on Key Applications of Microbial Fuel Cells in Wastewater Treatment and Energy Production
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Due to fossil fuel depletion and the rapid growth of industry, it is critical to develop environmentally friendly and long-term alternative energy technologies. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are a powerful platform for ...
Unveiling fabrication and environmental remediation of mxene-based nanoarchitectures in toxic metals removal from wastewater: Strategy and mechanism
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Efficient approaches for toxic metal removal from wastewater have had transformative impacts to mitigating freshwater scarcity. Adsorption is among the most promising purification techniques due to its simplicity, low cost, ...
Evaluation of polymeric adsorbents via fixed-bed columns for emulsified oil removal from industrial wastewater
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2022 , Article)
Polymeric adsorbents (PAs) have been gaining increased attention for application in industrial wastewater (WW) treatment. However, most studies on evaluating PAs specifically for emulsified oil removal are currently limited ...
Industrial wastewater volume reduction through osmotic concentration: Membrane module selection and process modeling
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Osmotic concentration (OC), a form of forward osmosis (FO) but without draw solution recovery, can be applied for reducing wastewater disposal volumes in the oil & gas industry. Within this industry, wastewater is often ...
Controlled synthesis of carbon nitride-TiO<inf>2</inf> nanocomposites for prompt photocatalytic degradation of individual and mixed organic dyes at room temperature
(
Springer Nature
, 2020 , Article)
Development of efficient and low-cost photocatalysts for the degradation of mixed organic dyes in water resources is of great importance in various industrial and environmental applications. Herein, we prepared organic-inorganic ...
Calix[4]arene-clicked clay through thiol-yne addition for the molecular recognition and removal of Cd(II) from wastewater
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
A novel type of hybrid Clay/Calix[4]arene (denoted as B-S-Calix), was prepared through fast photo-induced radical-mediated thiol–yne addition between a thiolated clay and an alkynylated calix[4]arene. The photo-induced ...
Magnetic nanoparticles draw solution for forward osmosis: Current status and future challenges in wastewater treatment
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Forward osmosis is considered as the least energy intensive membrane process since it operates based on the osmotic pressure gradient. However, it is still considered as immature technology mainly due to the elevated cost ...
The influence of aeration scheme and aeration rate on the permeate flux for wastewater treatment using membrane bioreactors: Experimental and artificial neural network modeling
(
Desalination Publications
, 2021 , Article)
In this paper, the effect of time, aeration scheme, aeration rate, and mixed liquor suspended solid (MLSS) concentration on the permeate flux in membrane bioreactors have been studied. Aeration rates of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 ...
