A clean production process for edible oil removal from wastewater using an electroflotation with horizontal arrangement of mesh electrodes

Anaerobic Treatment of Oily Wastewater Using A Biofilm-Electrode Reactor: A Kinetic Study And Energy Consumption

“…Synthetic oil emulsions were prepared by adding edible oil and sodium dodecyl sulfate, as an emulsifier, to distilled water and mixing for one hour at 900 rpm (Mirshafiee et al, 2018).…”

“…Oils can enter the environment at different stages of production, transportation, refining, and use (Zhu et al, 2018). The main sources of oilcontaminated wastewater include food industries, oil refineries, petrochemical companies, and metal, textiles, and leather producing plants, as well as restaurants, kitchens, and vehicles (Mirshafiee et al, 2018). Discharge of oily effluent to the environment may cause irreparable damages.…”

Efficient and Fast Removal of Oils from Water Surfaces via Highly Oleophilic Polyurethane Composites

“…Fuels, in the form of light hydrocarbons, for example, tars, grease, and diesel oil, or as heavy hydrocarbons, such as kerosene, gasoline, and jet fuel, together with fats, lubricants, and motor oil are increasingly in demand by the market [ 11 , 12 ]. There are many chemical, physical, and biological methods to remove oils from contaminated water [ 13 ], including oil dispersant [ 14 ], in situ burning [ 15 ], filters [ 16 ], reverse osmosis [ 17 ], gravity separation [ 18 ], electrocoagulation [ 19 ] and electroflotation [ 20 ]. Sorption is probably one of the most used methods because oil sorbents fall into two very broad categories: synthetic, such as polyanilines and polypyrrole-silica polymer composites [ 21 , 22 ], and natural adsorbents, such as bio-based aerogels and natural adsorbents based on sawdust [ 23 , 24 ].…”

Determination of effective energy capacity of the conveyor when transporting different waste of mechanical treatment

“…In these studies, the ener gy component of the issue remains unrevealed. The work [7] is devoted to the determination of the productivity and energy consumption of the conveyor, but there is no comparative analysis of the energy consumption for various types of materials. Works [8,9] are devoted to the improvement of conveyor designs.…”
