“…In order to reduce these risks, wastewater treatment plans for factories must also be developed. Therefore, the use of water obtained from sewage treatment in agriculture can not only make an important contribution to the water supply of the society but is also considered a solution for environmental preservation and sustainable development [14].…”

Petroleum hydrocarbons in refinery wastewater are considered the main cause of pollution. Wastewater from oil refineries contains large amounts of oil and fat in the form of suspended particles, light and heavy hydrocarbons, phenol, and other dissolved organic substances, which cause environmental pollution if they are discharged into the environment without treatment. Usually, conventional methods of treating petroleum wastes have a lot of costs; due to the existence of sufficient area for the construction of solar distillation ponds and suitable sunlight, as well as a large number of sunny days near the equator, the solar distillation method can be used. Membrane bioreactors based on biological decomposition and biological transformation of oils and waste oil materials have provided new solutions for the biological treatment of these wastewater. In addition to these methods, Fenton’s advanced oxidation methods, electrochemical coagulation method, and membrane filtration method are mentioned in this chapter.

“…The development of industries has resulted in signicant environmental issues such as ecological imbalances and water pollution caused by oil spills, petroleum products, and organic solvent leaks, posing a signicant threat to human health. [1][2][3][4][5] To achieve the separation of oil-water mixtures, various treatment methods such as in situ incineration, 6 membrane ltration, 7,8 biochemical degradation, 9 and physical absorption 10 are being employed. Among them, superwetting separation, using materials including polymer membranes, 11 porous metal mesh, 1 sponge, 12 cotton fabric, 13 etc., exhibits unparalleled advantages in oil/water separation, such as high separation efficiency, environmental friendliness, low cost, and simplicity of operation.…”

“…47,48 Since fossil fuels are widely used, there is no region exempt from possible contamination. 49 Another important fact for the prevention of environmental pollution and human health is related to oily industrial effluents. 50,51 The choice of process for treating this wastewater depends on whether the oil droplet size is less than 150 μm (free-floating oil), between 20 and 150 μm (dispersed oil), or less than 20 μm (emulsion).…”

Solid crosslinked biopolymers made by inverse vulcanization of soybean (PSB) or sunflower (PSF) oil with sulfur are characterized and tested to decontaminate water from hydrocarbons (HC): gasoline, diesel, two lubricant oils, and water/gasoline emulsion. The physicochemical structure of the biopolymers is studied by FTIR spectroscopy, Differential scanning calorimetry, contact angle measurement, and mechanical testing. Also, the morphological structure is analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. Moreover, the polymer decontamination capability and reusability are tested gravimetrically. Both biopolymers are formed by CS bonds, and their elastic behavior dominates. However, PSF is more hydrophilic, has a larger amount of free sulfur and a less compact structure, and also sorbs ca. 60% more HC than PSB. The results indicate that the unsaturated feedstock has a strong effect on the polymer structure and the capacity to remediate contaminated water or solids. Also, both materials can be reused to remediate water for more than five consecutive cycles. In addition, inverse vulcanization of oils and sulfur is an ecological way of obtaining environmentally‐improved materials with great potential and applications, providing a complete atomic economy and high performance to remediate water from water/HCs dispersed and, more importantly, from water/gasoline emulsions.
