Remediation of petrorefinery wastewater contaminants: A review on physicochemical and bioremediation strategies

Optimization of isotropic MoS2/PES membranes for efficient treatment of industrial oily wastewater

“…3,4 If released into the natural environment, oily wastewater negatively affects aquatic life by cutting off the oxygen supply. [5][6][7][8] Several treatment technologies for oily wastewater, such as oatation, adsorption, coagulation, occulation as well as membrane-separation processes have been employed to mitigate negative effects caused by oily wastewater and other harmful organic foulants found in wastewater. [9][10][11] However, membrane technology has proven to be one of the most desirable due to its simplicity of operation, cost effectiveness and low requirements of energy.…”

An Integrated Bioremediation Approach for Wastewater Treatment and Contaminated Soil Remediation in a Used Oil Recycling Plant

“…Varieties of physicochemical techniques are available for the treatment of petrochemical e uents (adsorption, coagulation, ultra ltration, advanced oxidation and membrane separation) and for the remediation of contaminated soils (chemical oxidation, stabilization, disposal, containment and thermal desorption). Some of these processes treat a wide range of pollutants and provide relatively quick solutions, but they are expensive, technically challenging and have high environmental and social impacts (Kumar et al 2022). Varieties of physicochemical techniques are employed for the remediation of petrochemical e uents (ultra ltration, coagulation, adsorption, advanced oxidation and membrane separation) and polluted soils (chemical oxidation, stabilisation, disposal, containment and thermal desorption).…”

Valoration of the Synthetic Antioxidant Tris-(Diterbutyl-Phenol)-Phosphite (Irgafos P-168) from Industrial Wastewater and Application in Polypropylene Matrices to Minimize Its Thermal Degradation

“…Industrial processes are some of the productive forces that have significantly contributed to the development of today’s society, developing products and providing services that have improved our quality of life [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. However, one of the most significant problems revolving around industrial production is the pollution that it generates, since in every industrial process and each of its unit operations, specific residues are developed, most of which are toxic and highly polluting [ 2 , 4 , 5 ]. One of the products whose highest consumption has increased in the last century is plastic [ 6 ], thanks to its durability and great versatility [ 7 ].…”
