the petrochemical industry is the most important and most widely active industries in the country. due to the variety and complexity of industrial products, it also produces a wild range of pollutants. mercury waste disposal from chlor-alkali units is one of the fundamental problems of this industry. various studies have shown that phytoremediation system for removal of mercury from aqueous sol...

in this research degradation and mineralization of ortho-toluidine (ot) in the wastewater of petrochemical industries was investigated by uv/tio 2 process in a batch recirculating photo reactor. the influence of different variables such as initial ph, amount of tio 2 and initial concentration of ot on the reaction rate was investigated. in optimum conditions (1.75 g/l of catalyst, ph at 7 and i...

After an earthquake, the fire risk of petrochemical enterprises is higher than that of other enterprises as it involves production processes with inflammable and explosive characteristics. Using Chinese petrochemical enterprises as the research object, this paper uses a literature review and case summaries to study, amongst others, the classification of petrochemical enterprises, the proportion...

Numerous tons of hazardous wastes containing persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are stored in an unsafe manner the petrochemical industries. The planetary ball mill causes formation mineral Cl compounds during degradation polychlorinated presence various reagents. In addition, has been applied for synthesis diverse organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterials. present study, Fe-metal framework was ...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to investigate the relationship between exposure of Korean workers to petrochemicals in the refinery/petrochemical industry and lymphohematopoietic cancers. METHODS The cohort consisted of 8,866 male workers who had worked from the 1960s to 2007 at one refinery and six petrochemical companies located in a refinery/petrochemical com...

the main object of this study was to compare the natural and synthetic( naa and nam) zeolites as absorbents in removing emulsified and dissolved traces of organic compounds, which appear in the wastewater of  power plants, refinery and petrochemical complexes.  the specific objectives of the work was: a) to select the best species that have the highest amount of absorption; b) to measure the ra...

BACKGROUND High salinity (1-10% w/v) of tannery wastewater makes it difficult to be treated by conventional biological treatment. Salt tolerant microbes can adapt to these saline conditions and degrade the organics in saline wastewater. RESULTS Four salt tolerant bacterial strains isolated from marine and tannery saline wastewater samples were identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus fl...
