Oily wastewater from oil field by microwave induced and catalytic demulsification was studied in this paper. The advantages and prospects of the microwave technology was analyzed. Microwave treatment of oilfield wastewater has advantages such as equipment occupies a small space, easy to operate, portable, easy to transport, easy to installation and commissioning, short reaction time, high efficiency, discharge water which has good quality, temperature and other factors do not affect the treatment oilfield wastewater effect and so on. Microwave also has a bactericidal effect which was applicable to treat oilfield wastewater in both South and North of China. When the processing time is 2.5 min at temperature 57°C, microwave demulsification has the best effect. Based on the research of microwave demulsifucation mechanism, a conclusion is reached that microwave heating effect and microwave catalytic eddect play a leading role on the demulsification.

Finding environmentally gentle methods to graft Lewis acid on the surface of mesoporous materials is a topic of current interest. Herein we describe the optimization of a preparation procedure of a mesoporous silica-supported ErIII catalyst using the microwave-assisted post-calcination functionalization of Mobil Composition of Matter-41 silica as the key step. The required time for functionalization was reduced from several hours to 10 min using sealed-vessel microwave technology. Control experiments using conventional heating at the same temperature demonstrated that the rate increase is owing to a simple thermal/kinetic effect as a result of the higher reaction temperature. The resulting ErIII catalyst was tested for the first time as a catalyst in the continuous flow deprotection of benzaldehyde dimethylacetal and a complete leaching study was performed.

Predominant ortho-selective mononitration of low-melting and liquid phenols and hydroxycoumarins in moderate to high yields has been accomplished upon grinding with solid cerium (IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN). Microwave-assisted expeditious CAN-mediated nitration of relatively high melting phenols and hydroxycoumarins with high efficiency and selectively under solvent-free conditions has been also developed to address the problems of sluggishness and low yield for these reluctant substrates.

Corrosion of equipment in the oil and gas complex is a global problem, as it contributes to huge material costs and global disasters that violate the environment. Corrosion control methods used to protect equipment do not always ensure the absolute safety of the operation of oil and gas facilities. Moreover, they are quite expensive. The developed method for controlling the electrochemical parameters of aqueous solutions to combat complications during the operation of oil-field pipelines provides the necessary protection against corrosion. The method is economical and environmentally friendly, since it does not require the use of chemical reagents. The test results have shown a very high efficiency in dealing with complications in oil fields.

Abstract Oil and gas sectors generate large amounts of oily wastewater, which is called produced water. In which, it contains high concentrations of hazardous organic and inorganic pollutants. This paper attempts to evaluate the performance and quality of using a polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane (UFM) to treat the produced water of Al-Ahdab oil field (Wassit, Iraq). 8 rectangular flat sheets of polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane were used. The area of each is 60 cm2 and pore size about 15 nm used in the experimental work. Prepared UFM is characterized by determining the surface morphology by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The result showed that the UFM indicated high removal efficiency in all parameters and especially oil and grease and total suspended solid but in general it still less than the requirement of water reuse. The results showed that, a combination of a conventional treatment method and UFM technology have higher efficiency than using UFM only.

Abstract The migration, transformation and ecological risk of heavy metals (Cr, As, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb) in the sewage sludge during the microwave-assisted thermal hydrolysis process were investigated under different temperatures (80 °C, 100 °C, 120 °C, 140 °C, and 160 °C). The potential relationship between the bio-availability of heavy metals and the variables of microwave treatment, including pH, ammonium-nitrogen, soluble chemical oxygen demand, pH, soluble protein, soluble polysaccharide and volatile solid, was also explored. The results showed that the migration of heavy metals between solid-liquid phase mainly depended on the temperature. The percentage of all heavy metals (except Cu) in mobile (acid-soluble/exchangeable and reducible) forms decreased after microwave-assisted thermal hydrolysis treatment. The solubilization of compounds with C = O and O-H accompanied with the generation of organic and inorganic metal halides were also observed in the treated sludge through fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis. NH4+-N showed the highest negative correlation to the bio-availability of most heavy metals (except Cu and Cr) with coefficients (absolute value) over 0.87 (P < 0.05). VS showed a positive correlation to the bio-availability of most heavy metals (except Cu). The total potential ecological risk index (RI) decreased by 46.65% after microwave treatment at 160 °C.

Regarding the South Caspian oil and gas province, it is concluded that the Pliocene productivity prevails in the western part of the province, and that the gas and oil prospects of the eastern land side in the Mesozoic are prioritized. A retrospective analytical review of geological and geophysical data and publications on the Mesozoic of Southwestern Turkmenistan was carried out, which showed the low efficiency of the performed seismic and drilling operations in the exploration and evaluation of very complex Mesozoic objects. A massive resumption of state-of-the-art seismic exploration and appraisal drilling in priority areas and facilities performed by leading Russian companies is proposed. For some areas, a new, increased estimate of the projected gas resources is given. An example of modern high-efficiency additional exploration of the East Cheleken, a small Pliocene gas and oil field, which turned this field into a large one in terms of reserves, is given.

Гидравлический разрыв пласта (ГРП) представляет собой комплексную технологию обработок скважин. При этом его следует рассматривать не только как средство воздействия на призабойную зону пласта (ПЗП), но и как один из существенных элементов системы разработки месторождения в целом. Технологические схемы ГРП, в том числе с последующим химическим воздействием, различаются в зависимости от коллекторских свойств обрабатываемых объектов. Их эффективность определяется условиями, связанными с фильтрационными характеристиками пластов, то есть коэффициентами проницаемости близлежащих и удаленных зон объекта. При этом подход к проектированию обработок ГРП будет различным в низко- и высокопроницаемых пластах, и в этой связи грамотный выбор скважин имеет существенное значение. Для исключения смыкания трещин после ГРП и снятия давления в призабойной зоне пласта (ПЗП) в скважины закачиваются различные расклинивающие агенты. Расклинивающие агенты (проппанты) должны противостоять напряжениям горной породы, удерживая трещину раскрытой после снятия гидравлического давления жидкости разрыва и обеспечивая, таким образом, высокую фильтрационную способность призабойной зоны пласта и дебиты нефти скважин. Обработки скважин проводятся с использованием стандартного нефтепромыслового оборудования и насосной техники. Промысловый опыт ГРП в условиях Верхне-Салымского месторождения (Западная Сибирь) показал его достаточно высокую эффективность. Hydraulic fracturing is a complex technology of well treatment. At the same time it should be considered not only as a means of impact on the bottom-hole zone of the formation, but also as one of the essential elements of the field development system as a whole. Technological schemes of MPG, including with subsequent chemical impact, differ depending on collector properties of processed objects. Their effectiveness is determined by conditions related to filtration characteristics of formations, i. e. permeability coefficients of nearby and remote zones of the object. At the same time, the approach to the design of GRP treatments will be different in low and highly permeable formations and in this regard, competent selection of wells is essential. Various proppantsare pumped into wells to prevent closing of cracks after MPG and to relieve pressure in bottom-hole zone of formation. Proppants (proppants) must withstand rock stresses by holding the fracture open after the hydraulic pressure of the fracturing fluid has been removed, and thus ensuring high filtration capacity of the bottom-hole formation zone and well oil flow rate. Well treatments are carried out using standard oil field equipment and pumping equipment. The field experience of GRP in the conditions of Verkhne-Salymsky field (Western Siberia) showed its rather high efficiency.

This paper describes the products characteristic derived from the conventional pyrolysis (CP) and microwave-assisted pyrolysis (MWP) of low metamorphic coal. GC/MS were used to analyze the volatile fractions of tar obtained by pyrolysis at different temperature and microwave power. It was found that microwave treatment produces more gas and oil than conventional pyrolysis at 800w and 800°C. In addition, the gas from the microwave has much higher syngas (H2+ CO) contents (up to 55 vol. %) than those obtained by conventional hydrolysis (up to 42 vol. %). The tar from the microwave is mainly composed of aromatic pyrolysis and phenolic compounds, and the content is 47.398% and 13.831% respectively as the microwave power is 800w. Meanwhile, the tar component content of C5-C10from microwave pyrolysis is up to 5 fold than conventional pyrolysis. By contrast, the microwave-assisted pyrolysis is beneficial to the tar conversion to light fraction.

The microwave-assisted heating reaction of N-acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc) in sulfolane is described. The reaction produces two major products that are assignable to 1,6-anhydro-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-d-glucopyranose (AGPNAc) and 1,6-anhydro-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-d-glucofuranose (AGFNAc). In order to reveal a general feature of the system, the 3, 5, and 10 min reactions were performed at 140, 160, 180, 200, and 220 °C to clarify the time course changes in the conversion of GlcNAc and the yields of the two produced 1,6-anhydrosugars. Temperature is a crucial factor that significantly affects the conversion of GlcNAc. The yields of AGPNAc and AGFNAc are also drastically changed depending on the reaction conditions. The 5-min reaction at 200 °C is shown to be the optimal condition to generate the 1,6-anhydrosugars with a high efficiency in which AGPNAc and AGFNAc are produced in the yields of 21% and 44%, respectively. Consequently, the microwave-assisted heating reaction of GlcNAc in sulfolane is shown to be a simple and promising pathway to generate 1,6-anhydrosugars consisting of amino monosaccharide backbones, which have high potentials as raw materials leading to biological oligosaccharides and biomimetic polysaccharides.
