Hydraulic fracturing oil- and gas-produced water is frequently highly impaired. While it often deep well injected, there a great deal of interest in treating recovering this for beneficial uses. However, multiple-unit operations are needed if these wastewaters to be recovered. Electrocoagulation considered promising pretreatment technology. Herein, we have investigated the use aluminum electrodes electrocoagulation as operation. The effects electrode arrangement, applied current, reaction...
Adsorption followed by stepwise desorption to concentrate volatile fatty acids (VFAs) from very dilute aqueous streams is challenging and only a limited amount of VFAs can be collected at high concentration using N2-stripping. Here, we describe the preparation use superparamagnetic porous adsorbents recover much larger fractions in highly concentrated form than with state-of-the-art N2-stripping technique. Our system based on poly(divinylbenzene) (PDVB) impregnated magnetite nanoparticles...
Produced water (PW) generated from hydraulic fracturing operations was treated using an integrated electrocoagulation, ultrafiltration, membrane distillation, and crystallization process (EC UF MDC). The aim to determine the viability of this for maximizing recovery. results obtained here indicate that optimizing various unit could lead increased recovery PW. Membrane fouling limits all separation processes. A pretreatment step suppress is essential. Here, removal total suspended solids...
Abstract One‐pot synthesis of polyionic liquids (PILs) from pyridinium and phosphonium family was reported in the present investigation. The size exclusion chromatographic (SEC) method employed for determination molecular weight polymer dispersity during synthesis. aggregation behavior these PILs investigated polar‐ protic, aprotic apolar‐aprotic solvents. FTIR spectroscopic analysis utilized characterization functional groups PILs, whereas 1 H‐NMR structural terms existence magnetically...
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a widely utilized method for water treatment and desalination. Our study examined the application of an electrocoagulation (EC) RO hybrid system treating actual brackish groundwater (BGW), focusing on reducing scaling by EC pretreatment. A series operating conditions were investigated, such as applied voltage, pH, reaction time, type electrode. The commercial software WAVE was to analyze quality assess potential pretreated feed stream San Antonio Water System (SAWS)...
In pursuit of sustainability, we explored replacing conventional dissolved air floatation (DAF) in poultry processing wastewater (PPW) treatment with a precisely tuned 0.02 µm stainless-steel ultrafiltration (SSUF) membrane. SSUF is robust, homogenously porous membrane strong chemical resistance, ease cleaning, and exceptional resistance to organic fouling. Unlike polymeric membranes, it can be regenerated multiple times, making cost-effective choice due its compatibility harsh cleaning. The...
In collaboration with faculty at NorthWest Arkansas Community College (NWACC) an integrated electrocoagulation-microfiltration (EC-MF) system was designed for use in laboratory experiments as a part of National Science Foundation Research Experiences Teachers (RET) program.Here, the two participants gained knowledge field wastewater treatment by working both graduate and undergraduate researchers to treat different types wastewaters such produced water textile wastewater.The EC-MF process...
