The discharge of untreated oily wastewater into the environment has serious impacts on human health, living nature, and ecosystems leads to significant economic losses. Many engineering techniques have been proposed applied treat wastewater, but limited studies investigated low-cost effective using by-products waste/scrap materials from construction industry. Materials are needed not only mitig...

Petroleum exploitation in oilfields, especially drilling, generates an oily sludge mixed with hydrocarbons and mineral solids. This oily sludge is sometimes treated by bioremediation and phytoremediation. This investigation established that landfarmed oil sludge provided adequate soil conditions to grow jack beans (Canavalia ensiformis) that in turn rhizoand phytoremediated residual aliphatic a...

The presence of oily wastewater poses a significant threat to both the ecological environment and public health. In order solve this problem, design preparation an efficient oil–water separation membrane is very important. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are currently promising material for due their tunable wettability, adjustable pore size also low density, high porosity, surface area. Theref...

Pansteatitis is caused by the consumption of high levels of unsaturated fatty acids and/or the insufficient intake of vitamin E, leading to inflammation of adipose tissue. This disease has been related to fish-based diets. However, non-conventional diets must also be considered. The authors present case records of two cats with pansteatitis, for which diet consisted mostly of pig's brain, compa...

––The oily mud waste is one of the main wastes in oil field production process, which also stands as a critical negative factor that impedes the improvement of oilfield environment. The oily mud, which is rich in oil and black viscous compound in appearance, is the solid waste that comes along with the oilfield production. The oily mud mixture has huge amounts in magnitude, and it contains a ce...

This study describes the temporal and spatial variability of bacterial communities within a combined sewer system in England. Sampling was conducted over 9 months in a sewer system with intensive monitoring of hydraulic conditions. The bacterial communities were characterized by 16S rRNA gene-targeted terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. These data were related to the hyd...

Due to their extraordinary prospective uses, particularly in the areas of oil–water separation, underwater superoleophobic materials have gained increasing attention. Thus, artificial nacre has become an attractive candidate for separation due its superhydrophilicity and superoleophobicity properties. Synthesized successfully achieved a high mechanical strength that is close or even surpasses n...
