Current technologies and future perspectives for the treatment of complex petroleum refinery wastewater: A review.
TLDR
In this paper , a segregated approach has been proposed to treat the crude desalting, sour, spent caustic, and oily wastewater of petroleum refineries, which is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, sulphides, ammonia, oils, suspended and dissolved solids, and heavy metals.About:

Thermal activation of persulfates for organic wastewater purification: Heating modes, mechanism and influencing factors
Ning Li,Shuang Wu,Haoxi Dai,Zhanjun Cheng,Wenchao Peng,Beibei Yan,Guanyi Chen,Shaobin Wang,Xiaoguang Duan +8 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive analysis of different thermal activation modes, particularly mechanisms and controlled generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has not yet been reported as discussed by the authors , however, a comprehensive review on different TAP systems is presented in this paper.

Anaerobic recalcitrance in wastewater treatment: A review.
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors highlighted the recalcitrant compounds in wastewaters and their pathways under aerobic and anaerobic conditions and summarized their performance in removing recalcitrants from wastewater.

Insights into the relation of crude oil components and surfactants to the stability of oily wastewater emulsions: Influence of asphaltenes, colloids, and nonionic surfactants
TL;DR: In this article , the authors compared the performance of crude oil components according to the oil-water wetting angle, and determined the static stability and coalescence stability of different surfactant emulsions.

A picture fuzzy set-based decision support system for treatment technologies prioritization of petroleum refinery effluents: A circular water economy transition towards oil & gas industry
TL;DR: In this paper , a decision support system based on picture fuzzy set is introduced for treating effluents produced by petroleum refineries in Iran, which can assist local authorities, governments, investors, and developers to reduce climate change and water crisis, reuse treated effluent, mitigate soil, water, and air pollution, and construct sustainable communities and green industries.

Combination of Advanced Oxidation Processes and biological treatments for wastewater decontamination—A review
TL;DR: The main conclusions arrived at from the overall assessment of the literature are that more work needs to be done on degradation kinetics and reactor modeling of the combined process, and also dynamics of the initial attack on primary contaminants and intermediate species generation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life cycle assessment: From the beginning to the current state.
TL;DR: The basic idea of LCA is that all environmental burdens connected with a product or service have to be assessed, back to the raw materials and down to waste removal, and the term “Life Cycle Assessment” is more precise than the German “Ökobilanz” or the French “écobilan”.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on chemical coagulation/flocculation technologies for removal of colour from textile wastewaters.
TL;DR: Some novel pre-hydrolysed coagulants such as Polyaluminium chloride (PACl), Polyal aluminium ferric chloride (PAFCl), Polyferrous sulphate (PFS) and Polyferic chloride (PFCl) have been found to be more effective and suggested for decolourisation of the textile wastewater.

Technical review and evaluation of the economics of water desalination: Current and future challenges for better water supply sustainability
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a cost analysis of the reverse osmosis process and the main parameters influencing the total water cost produced by different desalination technologies, including capital and operating costs, as well as local incentives or subsidies.

Microbial degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons.
TL;DR: An overview about bioremediation for petroleum hydrocarbon pollutants and explanation about hydrocarbon metabolism in microorganisms are provided with a special focus on new insights obtained during past couple of years.
