Globally, the oil and gas industry produces a large volume of waste in the form of produced
water, oil sludge, and flue gases that can pose a negative impact on environment. As such …

Oily sludge is one of the most significant solid wastes generated in the petroleum industry. It
is a complex emulsion of various petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs), water, heavy metals, and …

Petroleum industry produces one of the popular hazardous waste known as Petroleum
Sludge. The treatment and disposal of petroleum sludge has created a major challenge in …

In this work, low-cost carbon-based materials were developed via a facile one-pot pyrolysis
of oily sludge (OS) and used as catalysts to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for removing …

Solvent extraction was used to recover oil from waste sludge generated from the storage of
crude petroleum. Different solvent-to-sludge mass ratios were used for two solvents, methyl …

Petroleum Waste Treatment and Pollution Control combines state-of-the-art and traditional
treatment and control methods for removing, controlling, and treating problems, such as …

Crude oil and its products and wastes are among the significant sources of naturally
occurring radioactive materials (NORMs). These materials may be enhanced to high levels …

Different petroleum operations produce huge amount of oil sludge annually. For instance,
US EPA estimates the annual sludge production of each US refinery of 30,000 tons, while …

In this study, a potential radiation hazard from TENORM sludge wastes generated during
exploration and extraction processes of oil and gas was evaluated. The activity …

To study the potential redistributions of NORMs from gas-wells to ambient-environment in
and around gas-field and to evaluate affiliated radiological-risks, a suite of systematically …
