A critical review of risks, characteristics, and treatment strategies for potentially toxic elements in wastewater from shale gas extraction.
TL;DR: This critical review focuses on characterizing HF wastewater and establishing strategies to mitigate environmental impacts, with high prioritization given to the constituents with mean concentrations over 10 times greater than the maximum contamination level (MCL) guidelines for drinking water.

Membrane fouling and reusability in membrane distillation of shale oil and gas produced water: Effects of membrane surface wettability
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared three membranes, a hydrophobic PVDF membrane, a super-hydrophobic membrane, and a composite PVDF with hydrophilic coating, in the desalination of shale oil and gas produced water from the Wattenberg field in northeast Colorado.

Critical review of the energy-water-carbon nexus in cities
Fanxin Meng,Fanxin Meng,Gengyuan Liu,Gengyuan Liu,Sai Liang,Meirong Su,Zhifeng Yang,Zhifeng Yang,Zhifeng Yang +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a systematic review of the advances in urban energy-water carbon nexus studies and found that nearly 94% of the urban EWC nexus studies focus on the nexus between two of the three aspects, with the ‘energy-water nexus' representing the mainstream topic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coupling system dynamics analysis and risk aversion programming for optimizing the mixed noise-driven shale gas-water supply chains
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a comprehensive modeling framework for mixed noise-driven shale gas-water supply chains, which is integrated with techniques of system dynamics model and two-stage stochastic risk-aversion programming.

A Critical Review of the Risks to Water Resources from Unconventional Shale Gas Development and Hydraulic Fracturing in the United States
Avner Vengosh,Robert B. Jackson,Robert B. Jackson,Nathaniel R. Warner,Thomas H. Darrah,Andrew J. Kondash +5 more
TL;DR: Analysis of published data reveals evidence for stray gas contamination, surface water impacts in areas of intensive shale gas development, and the accumulation of radium isotopes in some disposal and spill sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding Crude Oil Prices
TL;DR: The authors examines the factors responsible for changes in crude oil prices and concludes that although scarcity rent made a negligible contribution to the price of oil in 1997, it could now begin to play a role.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human health risk assessment of air emissions from development of unconventional natural gas resources
TL;DR: Preliminary results indicate that health effects resulting from air emissions during unconventional NGD warrant further study and risk management approaches should focus on reducing exposures to emissions during well completions.

Produced water treatment technologies
Ebenezer T. Igunnu,George Chen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of current technologies for the management of produced water, examines how electrochemical techniques may be used in these areas and compares the prospects for future development, since produced water is a potential electrolyte because it has a relatively good conductivity.
