The paper demonstrates the feasibility of the gel-clot method for the analysis of bacterial endotoxins in water extracts of ultrapure paraffin oil which is a water insoluble oily medical device. Because ultrapure paraffin oil is water insoluble oily liquid, the ultrapure paraffin oil (10 mL) was shaken with 10 mL water for 15 minutes at 2000 rpm, the endotoxin present was extracted to the aqueo...

Thermolysis of waste plastics in an inert atmosphere has been gazed at as a useful method, because this technique can convert waste plastics into hydrocarbons that can be used either as fuels or as other valued chemicals. In this work, waste polyethylene (PE) was chosen as the raw material for thermolysis. A well designed semi batch reactor has been used for thermolysis of waste polyethylene (P...

The proper management of oily sludge from petroleum products storage tanks is necessary because inappropriate methods for dredging of tanks may result in high costs and increased environmental pollution. The purpose of the current study is to rank the strategies outlined by strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats analysis using data envelopment analysis model, which provides enriched i...

This work highlights the preparation of ceramic membranes from a low-cost naturally occurring clay material viz. red mud. Additives like sodium carbonate, sodium metasilicate and boric acid was added in standard stoichiometric ratio with the processed clay material, imparting characteristic properties. Paste casting method was followed for fabricating circular disc shaped membranes with 50 mm× ...

the present study investigated oil/water demulsification and treatment of oily wastewater originated from port waste reception facilities by electro coagulation using aluminum electrodes in a batch reactor. the efficiency of al electrodes in removing ss, cod, and oil & grease from wastewater with different current densities and operational times were investigated. the characteristics of th...

Nanostructured materials with desired wettability and optical property can play an important role in reducing the energy consumption of oily water treatment technologies. For effective oily water treatment, membrane materials with high strength, sunlight-sensitive anti-fouling, relative low fabrication cost, and controllable wettability are being explored. In the proposed oily water treatment a...
