“…The most obvious and serious type of maritime contamination is oil pollution. Tankers have been spilling thousands of tons of oil per year during the past ten years (Abdelwahab et al, 2021;Moneer et al, 2023). Several industries, including those in the pharmaceutical, petrochemical, oil and gas, and food sectors, have added to the massive output of oil effluent globally (Abuhasel et al, 2021).…”

Response surface methodology (RSM) and Box-Behnken (BB) statistical experiment design were developed to study the optimization of oily wastewater treatment using Sargassum latifolium. The characterization of the Sargassum latifolium was studied using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), N 2 adsorption/ desorption, and Raman techniques. These studies demonstrated the importance of various functional groups such as carbonyl, amino, carboxyl, and hydroxyl on adsorption mechanism. The specific surface area of S. latifolium was 111.65m 2 / g. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) showed that the interaction of S. latifolium with oil led to the development of flakelike deposits on its surface, causing the surface to become uneven. Four process-independent parameters, including contact time, oil volume, adsorbent dosage, and pH were optimized for the best response of crude oil adsorption using Box-Behnken design. The output was summarized for an additional ANOVA analysis. Optimization conditions for crude oil adsorption onto Sargassum Latifolium were found to be at an adsorbent dose of 0.13g, oil volume of 24.29ml, time of 57.44 minutes, and initial pH of 9.54. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were used to apply equilibrium analysis. The results suggest that the Langmuir model better fits the experimental data compared to the Freundlich model. The experimental results showed that the crude oil adsorption capacity onto Sargassum latifolium was 45.87gm under ideal conditions, which was somewhat lower than the RSM model's value of 46.14gm.

“…Turbidity is one of the very effective indicators for water quality, especially drinking water, and overall public health concern for wastewater discharge to bodies of water (Huey and Meyer 2010). Oily wastewaters result from various industries, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food sectors that produce or handle oil and pose a burden to the environment, particularly to the aquatic environment (ALFUTAISI et al 2007;Abdelwahab et al 2021;Abuhasel et al 2021). The oil in the water (O/W) mixture may form a very stable emulsion, especially in the presence of water currents, which may cause vigorous stirring, making the emulsion more stable.…”

“…In general the emulsions are difficult to break due to their stability and persistence, so their de-emulsification is critical to lower their risk to the environment, and thus allowing the oil to be recovered and water to be reused (Merma et al 2020;Adetunji and Olaniran 2021). Numerous techniques were used for oily wastewater treatment to reduce its impact on human health and the environment such as, adsorption in nanoparticles, ultrafiltration techniques, chemical destabilization, biological treatment, and electrochemical processes (Mearns et al 2020;Abdelwahab et al 2021;Adetunji and Olaniran 2021). However, the majority of these processes are complex, energy-intensive, expensive, or time-consuming (Mearns et al 2020).…”

Electrocoagulation technique using aluminum electrodes in a batch bi-polar system was investigated to determine the efficiency of removing oil from oily wastewater. The Box–Behnken design was utilized to optimize conditions and the effects of four independent factors, including oil volume (X1), temperature (X2), initial pH (X3), and treatment time (X4),—were examined to investigate turbidity recovery and conductivity changes. The significant independent variables and their interactions were assessed using ANOVA. The optimal operating conditions for turbidity removal were obtained at an oil volume of 10 ml L−1, a temperature of 28 °C, an initial pH of 4, and a coagulation time of 90 min. The results revealed that turbidity removal and conductivity changes are enhanced significantly with increasing treatment time and decreasing oil volume. The application of the treatment process under optimal operating conditions allows promising removal efficiencies of 97.3%, and 73.4% for turbidity and conductivity, respectively. Also, the treated wastewater showed remarkable changes in removal efficiencies of the main oily wastewater pollution loads for COD, NO2, PO4, DO, and BOD. The economic study indicated that oily wastewater treatment by electrocoagulation is a very cost-effective technique.
