Oily Wastewater Treatment

Oily wastewater is one of the most dangerous forms of environmental pollution, it is large amount of water that is wasted petrochemical industries, oily waste water contains oil, suspended solids, and dissolved solids. The study investigates the treatment of real oily waste water that was collected from al-Dura refinery (Iraq) /Middle Refineries Company from oil and suspended solid contamination for re-use and environmental consideration using coagulation and flocculation processes. Coagulation /flocculation is a common method used as primary purification processes to oily wastewater treatment due to its usability, performance, and low cost. Coagulation experiments were completed by the Jar Test device. The additives coagulants of ferric sulfate and aluminum sulfate were in a range about (10- 25) ppm, as well as polyelectrolyte- (polyacrylamide) as an additional flocculent in the range (1-4) ppm. The results show that ferric sulfate was more efficient in removing turbidity than Aluminum sulfate under the same conditions, with the best removal of turbidity at dose concentration 20 ppm of Ferric sulfate and a flocculent dose concentration of 3 ppm of polyacrylamide, also with oil content decreasing from 288 ppm to 14.4 ppm and the turbidity removal from 187 to 8.5 NTU.

Abstract In this study, polyaniline (PANI) is prepared by means of chemical oxidization polymerization and directly loaded on the modified fiber ball (m-FB) to obtain macroscale polyaniline/modified fiber ball (PANI/m-FB) composite, and then its removal ability of Cr(VI) is investigated. The effects of different parameters such as contact time, pH value and initial concentration on Cr(VI) removal efficiency are discussed. The experimental results illustrate that the favorable pH value is 5.0 and the maximum removal capacity is measured to be 293.13 mg g−1. Besides, PANI/m-FB composites can be regenerated and reused after being treated with strong acid. The kinetic study indicates that the adsorption procedure is mainly controlled by chemical adsorption. More importantly, the macroscale of composites can avoid secondary pollution efficiently. Benefiting from the low cost, easy preparation in large scale, environmentally friendly, excellent recycling performance as well as high removal ability, PANI/m-FB composites exhibit a potential possibility to remove Cr(VI) from industrial waste water. Graphic Abstract The polyaniline (PANI) was coated on modified fiber ball (m-FB) to remove Cr(VI) in waste water, and this kind of PANI/m-FB composites can avoid secondary pollution efficiently due to its macrostructure. Furthermore, the removal capacity can reach to 291.13 mg/g and can be multiple reused.

AbstractA pre-economic feasibility study was undertaken to determine the potential of cereal straw for industrial utilization in Minnesota. Specifically, utilizing straw for pulp and paper manufacture was of interest. The availability of cereal straw fiber supplies at various locations across the state of Minnesota, along with pre-processing issues such as transportation, harvesting, handling, and storage, are discussed and priced. The greatest economic advantage of straw for industrial use appears to be the low cost of the raw material compared to traditional raw materials. This also provides an excellent opportunity for additional income for farmers. The methodology and information provided here should be helpful in evaluating the feasibility of utilizing straw for other industrial purposes in other parts of the world. However, in some Third World countries, long-standing on-farm, traditional uses of cereal straws for fuel, fiber, and animal feed may limit their availability for industrial utilization.

This study used ceramic membrane technology to concentrate tungsten fine particles for its inefficient recycling issue. Factors affecting the membrane concentration test were discussed, and the results show that: under the feed flow of 7000 mL/min, concentration time of 3 hours, and concentration liquid flow of 500 mL/min, it is the optimal effect of ceramic membrane concentration tungsten fine particle, which the interception rate reaches more than 99%, the membrane permeation flux can be nearly reach 470mL/(min×1099cm2) above, and concentrate concentration can be basically stable at around 29% . Ceramic membrane flux recovery rate can be as high as 93% by 7 minutes backwashing firstly and then 2 minutes forward cleaning.

Waste water is becoming more and more around us and phosphates exit everywhere in waste water. Eutrophication, the most common phenomenon caused by phosphate, can lead to water problems. Therefore, searching suitable materials to remove and control phosphate in waste water is of great significance. In this reach project, the method of adsorption was chosen to remove phosphate and two kinds of ceramic clay materials which were low cost and easily available as adsorbent for adsorption were used for phosphate removal. According to the removal efficiency of phosphate removal, temperature, solid to liquid ratio, the original concentration of phosphate and experiment time were studied in the experiments.

Carbon membranes have high adsorption capacitiy with respect to its incredible properties such as unique structural, electronic, optoelectronic, semiconductor, mechanical, chemical and physical. Carbon nanotube (CNT) membranes because of its high permeance have been recently developed.Great attention has been currently paid to the field of fabrication methods capable of producing uniform, well-aligned and monodispersed CNT array. Current research concerns with fabrication of vertically aligned CNT membrane in order to remove heavy metal ion presents in waste water. For this purpose, CNTs are vertically grown up through the holes of anodic aluminium oxide (AAO); as a template, by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of acetylene gas.In this work a few heavy metals such as Pb (II), Cu (II) and Cd (II) has been examined for checking the perfomance of membrane in aqueous solution. The morphological properties of the aligned CNT membrane were investigated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The method has simple technology, low cost, and easy reproduction.
