“…The acute toxicity tests with the bacterium Vibrio fischeri and the fish Poecilia vivipara revealed that produced water presented a high toxicity (EC50 < 1.55% for both species). The combined oxidation and biological process showed a significant toxicity reduction with EC50 = 89.2% for bacteria and EC50 = 85.7% for fish [59]. The concept of a physical separation (photocatalysis) biotreatment would not only improve the activity of the biological treatment, but also improve the water quality of product water by toxicity Although the combination of photocatalysis and biodegradation has been proved to be effective in wastewater treatment [111][112][113][114], the application in produced water is still quite limited with only one reported study thus far.…”

“…Batch ozone-photocatalytic oxidation using O 3 /UV/TiO 2 was performed in a laboratory-scale reactor to evaluate the efficiency of these processes in the degradation of contaminants and/or decrease in the ecotoxicity of produced waters of petroleum refineries [59]. The bacterial luminescence inhibition test using Vibrio fischeri and the fish toxicity test using juvenile guppies (Poecilia vivipara) were conducted in the testing laboratory.…”

Treatment of Produced Water with Photocatalysis: Recent Advances, Affecting Factors and Future Research Prospects

Produced water is the largest byproduct of oil and gas production. Due to the complexity of produced water, especially dissolved petroleum hydrocarbons and high salinity, efficient water treatment technologies are required prior to beneficial use of such waste streams. Photocatalysis has been demonstrated to be effective at degrading recalcitrant organic contaminants, however, there is limited understanding about its application to treating produced water that has a complex and highly variable water composition. Therefore, the determination of the appropriate photocatalysis technique and the operating parameters are critical to achieve the maximum removal of recalcitrant compounds at the lowest cost. The objective of this review is to examine the feasibility of photocatalysis-involved treatment for the removal of contaminants in produced water. Recent studies revealed that photocatalysis was effective at decomposing recalcitrant organic compounds but not for mineralization. The factors affecting decontamination and strategies to improve photocatalysis efficiency are discussed. Further, recent developments and future research prospects on photocatalysis-derived systems for produced water treatment are addressed. Photocatalysis is proposed to be combined with other treatment processes, such as biological treatments, to partially reduce total organic carbon, break down macromolecular organic compounds, increase biodegradability, and reduce the toxicity of produced water.

This chapter deals with toxicity bioassays and biosensors based on luminescent microorganisms that report on global toxicity of a sample in such a way that luminescence is reduced or inhibited in the presence of toxic compounds that impair metabolism. Both natural and recombinant microorganisms are considered. A detailed description of their main characteristics and environmental applications is reported. Bioassays for detecting oxidative stress (both bioluminescent and fluorescent bioreporters) are also mentioned and discussed. Oxidative stress is caused by an unbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the Author contributed equally with all other contributors.

“…Fenton's reagent and ozonation were shown to increase biodegradability of process water from a sour gas sweetening plant in Mexico that contained diethanolamine (Duran-Moreno et al 2011). Correa et al (2010) used ozone-photocatalytic oxidation (O3/UV/TiO2) to treat petroleum refinery effluents prior to algae-based treatment, effectively reducing phenol, sulfide, COD, O&G, and ammonia. Nam et al (2001) used hydrogen peroxide pretreatment to biodegrade soil contaminated with PAH.…”

Biological treatment is effective but infrequently used for oil and gas produced water. To date, physical-chemical treatment methods have been favored due to the smaller space requirements and operational simplicity. Changing regulatory requirements and increased interest in recycling and beneficial reuse have led to increased interest in biological treatment. To elucidate its potential role, we reviewed and summarized 59 studies on the biological treatment of produced water. Oilfield produced water was predominantly studied (> 50%). More studies using real produced water were from China than from any other country (37%). Real produced water was used in most studies (73%). Studies were predominantly bench-scale experiments (69%). Fixed-film reactors were most prevalent (27%). Water quality of produced waters treated was variable; median total dissolved solids (TDS) was 28,000 mg L −1 and median chemical oxygen demand (COD) was 1125 mg L −1. Inhibition by salinity was variable according to the treatment system and study design, but efficacy generally decreased when TDS was above 50,000 mg L −1. For studies treating real samples, average COD removal was 73% when TDS was less than 50,000 mg L −1 , and 54% when TDS was greater than 50,000 mg L −1. Key issues were microbial acclimation, toxicity, biological fouling, and mineral scaling. Finding an inoculum was not problematic as microorganisms capable of degrading hydrocarbons were isolated from various environments. Treatment performance was better where synthetic produced water was used in lieu of real samples. Biological treatment is promising for producing effluents suitable for reuse, particularly where it functions as part of a larger treatment train.
