The sustainable development of oil–gas and petrochemical industries necessitates the cost-effective eco-friendly technologies to treat mass-produced oily wastewater discharge from these industries. This study applied a simple radical polymerization enhance oil adsorption efficiency agricultural waste biomass wheat straw (WS) by grafting biocompatible poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). Diesel oil...

In this paper, results of the oily wastewater treatment by ceramic membranes in microfiltration process are simulated using neural network and hermia model. The process simulation by neural networks is written using MATLAB software program. The network input consisted of oil concentration (Coil), cross-flow velocity (CFV), temperature (T), trans-membrane pressure (TMP), and filtration time (t) ...

Two types of adsorbents were used to treat oily wastewater, activated carbon and zeolite. The removal efficiencies of these materials were compared to each other. The results showed that activated carbon performed some better properties in removal of oil. The experimental methods which were employed in this investigation included batch and column studies. The former was used to evaluate the rat...

The Three Gorges Project was implemented in 1994 to promote sustainable water resource use and development of the water environment in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area (hereafter "Reservoir Area"). However, massive discharge of wastewater along the river threatens these goals; therefore, this study employs a grey prediction model (GM) to predict the annual emissions of primary pollution sources,...

background: hospitals generate relatively large quantities of wastewater that may contain various potentially hazardous ma­terials; therefore the proper management of hospital wastewater is essential. methods:   in this cross-sectional study, the quality and quantity of wastewater in the hospitals of tehran university of medi­cal sciences (tums), tehran, iran, were studied and the suitable meth...

Abstract In recent years, the leakage of crude oil and discharge oily wastewater in industrial production have seriously endangered water environment ecological safety. Adsorbent materials with excellent oil-water separation performance play an important role purification. this work, we employed a simple yet effective strategy to prepare highly compressible wood sponges. And prepared sponge as ...

Abstract The discharge of oily wastewater and offshore oil spills contaminates the biotic aquatic environment ultimately result in destruction ecosystem. Recently, application ceramic membranes has gained prodigious attention due to its efficiency oil-water separation process. Ceramic developed from inorganic materials are considered as most promising technology for treatment industrial wastewa...
