Hydrogen sulfide (h2s) leakage and dispersion from a sulfide recycle installation in different wind speeds are simulated by implementing a 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model. h2s concentrations of monitor points which represent dispersion…
Global scenarios in line with Paris Agreement climate goals would increase deployment of low-carbon technologies that contain significant amounts of critical raw materials (CRMs). However, most climate policies and decarbonization pathways typically…
In Thailand, onshore drill cuttings (DC) contaminated with total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) are currently transported off-site for incineration, causing high transportation cost and potential leakage to the environment. To address the issues, we…
The need for sustainable zero-carbon fuels to substitute the conventional fossil fuels in the transport field becomes unavoidable to overcome the depletion of petroleum reserves and global warming. Metal fuels are promising energy-carrying materials…
Form-stable phase change materials (PCMs) have garnered tremendous attention in thermal energy storage (TES) owing to their remarkable latent heat. However, the integration of intelligent manufacturing, recycling, and optimized multifunction is…
Polybutadiene (PB) waste recycling helps to reduce the ever-growing fossil energy demands because it is usually made from petroleum and natural gas. However, designing and developing a facile and low-cost way to achieve the efficient recycling of PB…
Microemulsions and aqueous solution were prepared using biosurfactant sophorolipid, and treatment and crude oil recovery simulation experiments on oily soil were carried out. By comparison, the results showed that the effect of micro-emulsion of…
Green carbon science is defined as the "study and optimization of the transformation of carbon-containing compounds and the relevant processes involved in the entire carbon cycle from carbon resource processing, carbon energy utilization, CO2…
In the process of storing petroleum for a long time, the coagulability substance in the petroleum will form high viscosity petroleum sludge at the bottom of the tank, resulting in the loss of petroleum, the decrease of reserves, and the internal…
The installation of a large constrained multivariable controller on the second stage reactor of Suncor's hydrocracker unit has been completed. The control problem is complex and required an unusual controller structure to allow it to be solved with…
The desulfurization of four petroleum distillates i.e. kerosene, light gas oil (LGO), heavy gas oil (HGO) and light cycle oil (LCO), with sulfur content 0.206–1.272% w/w, was carried out using the hydrogen peroxide-acetic acid oxidative system, in…
The use of nonrenewable fuel like petroleum contributes to increasing the production of greenhouse gases. Biomasses provide biofuels, such as renewable electricity, thermal energy, or transportation fuels that substitute many fuels made from…
Lubricant oil is used for reducing friction, dust, corrosion and protection against wear between metallic parts which are in contact with each other in different types of machines and engines. Used lubricant oils (ULOs) are highly polluted materials…
Last 20 decades, plastics are used for many purposes and become an important part of our daily life. In many developing countries, people use the bags, bottles, utensils, furniture made up of plastics and for many more domestic purposes without…
Spent and discarded household fluorescent lamps are recognized as hazardous materials due to their contents of mercury and other pernicious components. The global-wide annual storage and dumping of millions of pieces of this electronic waste result…
The light duty vehicle fleet in the UK is being electrified aggressively, with an ambitious target to ban the sale of all new internal combustion engine cars by 2030. At the same time, the electricity grid is also undergoing rapid decarbonization,…
In the last couple of decades, studies have examined the potential environmental risks associated with reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) management through a range of approaches. Variable risk assessment methodologies and uncertainty on RAP behavior…
Pyrolysis has been identified as an ideal process to recycle mixed plastic waste (MPW). This study investigates the economics of a 40,000 t/y MPW pyrolysis process, called PlastPyro, located in Belgium, to an accuracy of ±15% i.e. “Definite…
Increasing growth of the petroleum industry has resulted in huge amounts of various waste materials, which need proper disposal and valorization. The complexity, slow rate, and high cost of various remediation methods for wastes from the petroleum…
Cleaner technologies denote technologies that are efficient to minimize waste generation promoting eco-friendly approaches. This chapter explores several cleaner technologies and cleaner initiatives which are effective for waste minimization both in…
The paper presents the results of research on multiple processing of a polylactide-based polymer material containing natural anti-aging compounds. The aim of the research was to determine the effectiveness of coffee, cocoa and cinnamon extracts in…
The petroleum industry is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the world owing to their increasing energy needs. Petroleum refinery produces a large number of waste products like volatile organic compounds, oily sludge, wastewater, heavy metals,…
Oily sludge is classified as hazardous waste. If not treated properly, it can cause negative impacts on human health and the ecological environment. However, the current lack of macro and micro scientific understanding of the treatment of oily sludge…
