Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) to Treat the Petroleum Wastewater
Abstract
Petroleum wastewater generation is one of the main pollutants associated with oil refineries processes. The petroleum wastewater usually contains a complex variety of materials and organic compounds. Dedicated treatment facilities are required before the petroleum wastewater can be discharged to the environment. Researchers worldwide are still searching for a total solution to solve petroleum wastewater problem. In this chapter, different chemical treatment methods for the petroleum wastewater including coagulation-flocculation, Fenton and electro-Fenton oxidation, photocatalyst oxidation, and advanced oxidation processes are reviewed and discussed. Nevertheless, the efficiency of each process was also evaluated. It can be concluded that the performance of these processes is mainly attributed to petroleum wastewater type and initial organic concentrations whereas treatment performance weakens reported at higher initial concentrations of pollutants.
