In this study, in-depth processing of biologically-pretreated coking wastewater was performed using aluminum sulfate (alum) and alum + PAM, respectively, aiming to study removal efficiency of COD, SS and color of coking wastewater as a function of pH, alum dosage and/or PAM, and to determine the optimal conditions for treatment of the coking wastewater. It was found that the optimum dosage and pH are 300 mg/L and 6.5 for coagulation with alum. The optimal condition for coagulation/flocculation with PAM + alum was 15-minute reaction, pH of 6.5, alum dosage of 220 mg/L, PAM dosage of 6 mg/L. Coagulation using alum and PAM at the optimal condition was more efficient than treatment using single alum for removal of COD and color. Effluent COD after coagulation at the optimum conditions met requirements of the secondary standard described in “Integrated wastewater discharge standard”, while the corresponding color exceeded the limit. Hence, coagulation using alum was found to be inefficient in reduction of color for biologically treated coking wastewater.

Adsorption of the cationic dye, Rhodamine B (RhB) onto surfactant modified laterite (SML) was studied in this work. The removal efficiency of RhB using laterite increased significantly after surface modification by pre-adsorption of anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Some effective of parameters such as pH, adsorbent amount and ionic strength were also investigated. The optimal conditions for RhB removal using SML were found to be pH 4, adsorbent amount 0.1 g and ionic strength 0.1 mM NaCl. Under optimum conditions, RhB removal efficiency increased from 25.77% to 94.85% using SML compared without SDS modification. After 5 regenerations of SML, the removal efficiency of RhB was still higher than 90%.  Adsorption of RhB onto SML decreased with increasing NaCl concentration from 0.1 to 200 mM, demonstrating that adsorption of RhB onto SML mainly induced by electrostatic attraction. The two-step adsorption model can fit the experimental results of RhB adsorption isotherms onto SML at different NaCl concentrations. Our results indicate that SML is a novel adsorbent to remove ionic dye from aqueous solution.

Abstract Ethylene is one of the most primary and widely used petrochemical products in today’s world and is considered as a chemical building block in the petrochemical industry. In this research, ethylene production from ethane and natural gas is evaluated in terms of cost and optimum conditions. Also, a comprehensive economic and technical comparison is made to achieve the optimal conditions for ethylene production concerning feed diversity. Nowadays most ethylene production units run with ethane feed. If it is possible to implement gas-ethylene processes with an inexpensive natural gas feed, it will be a significant step for technical and economic optimization. Thus, some methods are introduced and compared, and finally an economic review about best condition for ethylene production from ethane and natural gas/investment with regard to cost and economic efficiency of the methods is provided. The investment cost for Gas to Ethylene (GTE) and Ethane to Ethylene (ETE) processes is 363–701 million dollars per year, respectively. Also, rate of return (ROR) of 24 and 19% is calculated for GTE and ETE processes, respectively.

Abstract In this study, a combined process was developed that included micro-electrolysis, Fenton oxidation and coagulation to treat oilfield fracturing wastewater. Micro-electrolysis and Fenton oxidation were applied to reduce chemical oxygen demand (COD) organic load and to enhance organic components gradability, respectively. Orthogonal experiment were employed to investigate the influence factors of micro-electrolysis and Fenton oxidation on COD removal efficiency. For micro-electrolysis, the optimum conditions were: pH, 3; iron-carbon dosage, 50 mg/L; mass ratio of iron-carbon, 2:3; reaction time, 60 min. For Fenton oxidation, a total reaction time of 90 min, a H2O2 dosage of 12 mg/L, with a H2O2/Fe2+ mole ratio of 30, pH of 3 were selected to achieve optimum oxidation. The optimum conditions in coagulation process: pH, cationic polyacrylamide dosage, mixing speed and time is 4.3, 2 mg/L, 150 rpm and 30 s, respectively. In the continuous treatment process under optimized conditions, the COD of oily wastewater fell 56.95%, 46.23%, 30.67%, respectively, from last stage and the total COD removal efficiency reached 83.94% (from 4,314 to 693 mg/L). In the overall treatment process under optimized conditions, the COD of oily wastewater was reduced from 4,314 to 637 mg/L, and the COD removal efficiency reached 85.23%. The contribution of each stage is 68.45% (micro-electrolysis), 24.07% (Fenton oxidation), 7.48% (coagulation), respectively. Micro-electrolysis is the uppermost influencing process on COD removal. Compared with the COD removal efficiency of three processes on raw wastewater under optimized conditions: the COD removal efficiency of single micro-electrolysis, single Fenton oxidation, single coagulation is 58.34%, 44.88% and 39.72%, respectively. Experiments proved the effect of combined process is marvelous and the overall water quality of the final effluent could meet the class III national wastewater discharge standard of petrochemical industry of China (GB8978-1996).

Abstract Phenol and its derivatives are available in various industries such as refineries, coking plants, steel mills, drugs, pesticides, paints, plastics, explosives and herbicides industries. This substance is carcinogenic and highly toxic to humans. The purpose of the study was to investigate the removal of phenol from wastewater of the steel industry using the electrocoagulation–photo-Fenton (EC-PF) process. Phenol and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency were investigated using the parameters pH, Fe2+/H2O2, reaction time and current density. The highest removal efficiency rates of phenol and COD were 100 and 98%, respectively, for real wastewater under optimal conditions of pH = 4, current density = 1.5 mA/cm2, Fe2+/H2O2 = 1.5 and reaction time of 25 min. Combination of the two effective methods for the removal of phenol and COD, photocatalytic electrocoagulation photo-Fenton process is a suitable alternative for the removal of organic pollutants in industry wastewater because of the low consumption of chemicals, absence of sludge and other side products, and its high efficiency.
