The oil and gas (O&G) industry generates pollutants from the exploration, refining,
transportation, storage, and consumption of crude oil products that potentially pollute soil …

This comprehensive review focuses on treatment technologies for produced water, with a
particular emphasis on membrane-based systems. These systems offer significant …

Liquid crystal monomers (LCMs) have been proposed as a class of emerging organic
pollutants, which were recently detected in indoor dust and sediment samples collected near …

In this study, the recent advances in standalone membrane technologies were investigated
for produced water treatment and reclamation. The effect of operating parameters (ie …

Polymers, such as partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM), are widely used in oil fields
to enhance or improve the recovery of crude oil from the reservoirs. It works by increasing …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), due to their mutagenic, carcinogenic, and
teratogenic potential, can lead to numerous chronic and fatal diseases. PAHs have been …

In this work, the emulsified liquid membrane (ELM) extraction process was studied as a
technique for separating different pollutants from an aqueous solution. The emulsified liquid …

Membrane technology with advantages such as reduced energy consumption due to no
phase change, low volume and high mass transfer, high separation efficiency for solution …

Produced water (PW), a waste byproduct of oil and gas extraction, is a complex mixture
containing numerous organic solubles and elemental species; these constituents range from …

Industrial extraction of unconventional petroleum results in notable volumes of oil sands
process water (OSPW), containing elevated concentrations of naphthenic acids (NAs). The …
