Abstract:

During recent years, many advanced oxidation techniques have been investigated for water and wastewater treatment to overcome the shortage of clean water. This review summarizes the background and principles of photocatalysis applied as an advanced oxidation technology. In particular, this paper focuses on modification of photocatalysts with various dopants as well as the novel photocatalytic reactors to improve the oxidation efficiency of the pollutants in water and wastewater.

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Nanofiltration for water and wastewater treatment – a mini review

The application of membrane technology in water and wastewater treatment is increasing due to stringent water quality standards. Nanofiltration (NF) is one of the widely used membrane processes for water and wastewater treatment in addition to other applications such as desalination. NF has replaced reverse osmosis (RO) membranes in many applications due to lower energy consumption and higher f...
