“…Produced water generation has reached a daily output of 250 million barrels, and approximately 40% of this volume is released into the environment without treatment. As oil fields continue to age, it is anticipated that the proportion of produced water to extracted oil will further rise (Ibrahim et al, 2023). A significant portion of the produced water is either reinjected into the ground or undergoes treatment before disposal.…”

Oil-contaminated water poses a significant environmental threat, originating from various industrial processes. It is a hazard to ecosystems and various life forms. Scientists aim to create an inexpensive, straightforward, and environmentally friendly substance capable of effectively removing oil. The main target of this research is to test the feasibility of fish scale as oil biosorbent in oily water body. The experimental setup, utilizing both batch experiments and a packed column, comprehensively assesses the effectiveness of fish scales (FS) as sorbents. Potentiometric parameters, such as a 1000 mg adsorbent dose, 500 mg/L oil concentrations, and 60 minutes contact time at pH 7 with a 0.15 mm particle size, effectively evaluate oil extraction efficiency, achieving up to 95% removal, showcasing the remarkable capabilities of FS as a biosorbent. A higher efficiency of 97% was attained when the oil was mixed with seawater in the packed column. The excellent fit of experimental data with the pseudo-second order kinetic model suggests a chemisorption process. Additionally, the strong agreement with Freundlich isotherms in equilibrium isotherm results further supports the efficacy of FS as sorbents. The scalability of the method, as evidenced by the packed column results, is promising, indicating practical implementation potential in real-world scenarios. Overall, the study underscores the viability of using FS as an environmentally friendly and economical solution for oil removal from contaminated water and oil spills. Moreover, the potential for adaptation to other systems with different biosorbents or pollutants suggests broader applicability and future research opportunities in environmental remediation.

“…Groundwater remediation encompasses a variety of techniques designed to address contaminants, mainly based on extraction, physical separation, precipitation, immobilization, and toxicity reduction [6][7][8][9][10][11]. For example, pump-and-treat is well established for its versatility, which involves pumping groundwater to the surface and physically separating contaminants from it [12][13][14]; bioremediation employs microorganisms to break down or transform contaminants into less substances within the groundwater [15][16][17][18]; granular-activated carbon (GAC) or powdered-activated carbon (PAC) can also be used to absorb a wide range of contaminants, including organic compounds, chlorine, and heavy metals [19][20][21].…”

Universal Relationship between Mass Flux and Properties of Layered Heterogeneity on the Contaminant-Flushing Process

To remove contaminants from a layered heterogeneous porous system where the flow direction is parallel to the horizontal layering, the flushing front may advance faster in one layer than the other, resulting in a significant vertical concentration gradient across the layer interface. This gradient leads to mass exchange between the layers due to the vertical dispersive transport. Such a mass exchange phenomenon can greatly alter the mass (and heat if the temperature is a concern) distribution in a multi-layer porous media system but has never been investigated before in a quantitative manner. In this study, high-resolution finite-element numerical models have been employed to investigate how transport properties affect contaminant transport during flushing, using a two-layer system as an example. The results showed that the porosity and retardation factor play similar roles in affecting mass flux across the interface. Increasing the porosity (or retardation factor) of one layer with a faster flushing velocity would decrease the total mass flux across the interface of the layers, while increasing the porosity (or retardation factor) of the layer with a slower flushing velocity played an adverse influence. Furthermore, increasing the transverse dispersivity of any layer increased the mass flux across the interface of the two layers. However, changes in the transverse dispersivity did not affect the spatial range (or gap along the flow direction) in which significant vertical mass flux occurs. This study has important implications for managing contaminant remediation in layered aquifers.
