Sulfate removal technologies for oil fields seawater injection operations
TLDR
In this article, an innovative membrane distillation and liquid-phase precipitation (LPP) technology was developed for the selective removal of sulfate from seawater before injection, which can be injected safely in oil fields for flooding and pressure support.About:

Barium removal from synthetic natural and produced water using MXene as two dimensional (2-D) nanosheet adsorbent
Ahmad Kayvani Fard,Gordon McKay,Rita Chamoun,Tarik Rhadfi,Hugues Preud'Homme,Muataz Ali Atieh +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of adsorption parameters such as adsorbent dosage, contact time, and initial barium concentration were investigated and the optimum parameters for maximum removal of barium from synthetic produced/co-produced water were investigated.

Oilfield scale formation and chemical removal: A review
Muhammad Shahzad Kamal,Ibnelwaleed A. Hussein,Mohamed Mahmoud,Abdullah S. Sultan,Mohammed A. Saad +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of different types of scales that are common in oil and gas production operations, their sources and formation mechanisms are discussed, and several alternatives to HCl that are more environment-friendly in removing oilfield scale deposits are discussed.

A case for molecular recognition in nuclear separations: sulfate separation from nuclear wastes.
Bruce A. Moyer,Radu Custelcean,Benjamin P. Hay,Jonathan L. Sessler,Kristin Bowman-James,Victor W. Day,Sung Ok Kang +6 more
TL;DR: Good sulfate selectivity observed in the laboratory provides experimental support for the proposed molecular-recognition approach, and potential benefits of removing sulfate from the waste include improved vitrification of the waste, reduced waste- form volume, and higher waste-form performance, all of which lead to potential cleanup schedule acceleration and cost savings.

Dissolution of basalts and peridotite in seawater, in the presence of ligands, and CO2 Implications for mineral sequestration of carbon dioxide
TL;DR: In this paper, stable-state silica release rates from basaltic glass and crystalline basalt of similar chemical composition as well as dunitic peridotite have been determined in far-from-equilibrium dissolution experiments at 25°C and pH 3.6 in (a) artificial seawater solutions under 4bar pCO2, (b) varying ionic strength solutions, including acidified natural seawater, (c) acidified NAT seawater of varying fluoride concentrations, and (d) acidifying natural SE water of varying dissolved organic carbon concentrations.

Transport properties of cellulose acetate osmotic membranes
TL;DR: In this article, the diffusion and distribution coefficients of water and sodium chloride have been measured in cellulose acetate osmotic membranes and a homogeneous diffusion model is proposed which describes the observations in terms of Fick's law.

Experimental study of desalination using direct contact membrane distillation: a new approach to flux enhancement
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of three hydrophobic microporous membranes were evaluated under vacuum enhanced direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) with a turbulent flow regime and with a feed water temperature of only 40°C.
