“…Decomposition of organic contaminants takes place via aerobic microbial processes. Slurry biodegradation can treat a range of hydrocarbons including crude and refined petroleum products [167][168][169]. The presence of heavy metals and other potential toxins in OGPW (e.g., biocides) may inhibit microbial metabolism and require pretreatment.…”

During oil and natural gas production, so-called “produced water” comprises the largest byproduct stream. In addition, many oil and gas operations are augmented via injection of hydraulic fracturing (HF) fluids into the formation. Both produced water and HF fluids may contain hundreds of individual chemicals, some known to be detrimental to public health and the environment. Oil and gas production wastewater may serve a range of beneficial purposes, particularly in arid regions, if managed correctly. Numerous treatment technologies have been developed that allow for injection, discharge to the land surface, or beneficial reuse. Although many papers have addressed the effects of oil and gas production wastewater (OGPW) on groundwater and surface water quality, significantly less information is available on the effects of these fluids on the soil resource. This review paper compiles fundamental information on numerous chemicals used and produced during oil and gas development and their effects on the soil environment. Additionally, pollution prevention technologies relating to OGPW are presented. An understanding of the effects of OGPW on soil chemical, physical, and biological properties can provide a foundation for effective remediation of OGPW-affected soils; additionally, sustainable reuse of oil and gas water for irrigation and industrial purposes may be enhanced.

“…Treatment alternatives for energetic compounds in soils are fairly well-established, and they include soil washing, composting/landfarming, and anoxic biodegradation (Pennington et al, 1995;Boopathy and Manning, 1998;Widrig et al, 1997;Fuller et al, 2003). Additionally, a number of recently completed or ongoing efforts are focused on the further development of phytoremediation, surface soil amendments, and OB practices to remediate surface soil contamination (see Section 5.1.2).…”

“…Moreover, most of the nitro aromatic substances are mutagenic and carcinogenic. The perniciousness of this type of contaminants is attributed to the oxidation stress which can be created by the synthesis of nitro anion radicals and their redox cycling in the body [10][11][12]. In this regard, the removal and determination of tetryl is very important.…”

In this study, the adsorption of tetryl on the surface of boron nitride cage was evaluated by density functional theory. For this purpose, the structures of tetryl, B12N12, and the tetryl-B12N12 complexes were geometrically optimized. Then, IR and frontier molecular orbital calculations were performed on them. The calculated adsorption energies, Gibbs free energy changes (ΔGad), adsorption enthalpy changes (ΔHad) and thermodynamic equilibrium constants (Kth) revealed that the adsorption process of both explosives is experimentally feasible, spontaneous, exothermic and nonequilibrium. The specific heat capacity values (CV) showed that the heat sensitivity has been significantly reduced in the tetryl complexes with B12N12. The NO and C-N bond lengths and the density values demonstrated that tetryl-derived products with boron nitride cage have higher explosive velocity and blasting pressure in comparison to the pure blasting materials without B12N12. The frontier molecular orbital parameters such as band gap, chemical hardness, electrophilicity, chemical potential and charge capacity were also studied and the results proved that boron nitride cage is an ideal electroactive sensing material in order to fabricate novel sensors for the determination of tetryl.
