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 …

The current energy supply depends on fossil fuels which have increased carbon dioxide
emissions leading to global warming and depleted non-renewable fossil fuels resources …

Anaerobic digestion (AD) effectively recovers resources and reduces organic waste, but
microbial activity can be inhibited by refractory compounds. The degradation efficiency in …

The treatment of polymer-containing produced wastewater with high viscosity and
emulsification is a challenging issue in the oilfield. In this paper, electron beam (EB) …

Surfactants and polymers are extensively being used to enhance oil recovery resulting in the
generation of surfactant-polymer (SP) flooding produced water, which is more challenging to …

Although polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) degradation under methanogenesis is
an ideal approach to remediating PAH-polluted soil, the contribution of methanogenesis to …

Humankind is facing a climate and energy crisis which demands global and prompt actions
to minimize the negative impacts on the environment and on the lives of millions of people …

A Phanerochaete chrysosporium-based aerobic granular sludge (PC-AGS) was developed
by inoculating fungal mycelial pellets into a lab-scale aerobic granular sequencing batch …

Recalcitrant and toxicological membrane-making wastewater displays negative impacts on
environment, and this is difficult to treat efficiently using conventional hydrolytic acidification …

Low electricity generation efficiency is one of the key issues that must be addressed for the
practical application of microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Modification of microbial electrode …
