Summary: Viscosity modification of fluids injected into oil reservoirs is crucial for successful oil recovery. This study investigates the viscosity behavior of ZrO2 and gamma-Al2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) in different aqueous solutions. The results show that the viscosity of the nanofluids increases with the concentration of NPs, and the type of electrolytic ions in the solution affects the viscosity behavior. The proposed model by Williams et al. predicts the viscosities of the nanofluids more accurately compared to Einstein's model.

Summary: An innovative design of MER coupled with IAF-PMFC was developed for azo dye wastewater treatment and electricity generation. The sequential degradation of azo dye and the feasibility of energy self-sufficiency were assessed. The combined system achieved high decolorization efficiency and COD removal, even at high dye concentration. The MER/IAF-PMFC technology can simultaneously realize refractory wastewater treatment and balance of electricity production and consumption.

Summary: The excessive production of global plastic and poor waste management have raised concerns about environmental sustainability. Plastic recycling has become a practical approach for reducing plastic waste and maintaining sustainability. Chemical and mechanical recycling are common methods with advantages of simplicity, low cost, environmental friendliness, and potential profitability. However, the variation in physical and chemical properties of plastic waste poses a challenge for separation. Thus, reliable and effective plastic waste separation technology is crucial for increasing the value and recycling rate of plastic waste.

Summary: This paper demonstrates the use of a low-cost perovskite oxide catalyst in oil-field wastewater for promoting electrochemical reactions for hydrogen production. The catalytic activity of SCF-800 and SCF-850 is primarily influenced by crystal structure distortions and the presence of Co3 Thorn/Co4 Thorn coupling pairs, which increase the concentration of reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, SCF-850 is of particular interest due to its exceptional stability.

Summary: This study focused on regeneration of cationic resin using NaOCl as a low-cost regeneration agent. The dye-removal capacity of resin for methylene blue dye from textile wastewaters was found to be over 98% under appropriate parameters. The authors conducted five cycles of regeneration studies and found that sodium hypochlorite is effective in regenerating exhausted resin. This study could reduce operational costs for textile industries dealing with high temperature wastewater.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of various operational parameters on the removal of pollutants from cattle-abattoir wastewater using a continuous electrochemical oxidation system. The optimal operating conditions for energy efficiency were determined to be a NaCl concentration of 1 M and an applied current density of 4.73 mA/cm(2). Under these conditions, removal efficiencies for various pollutants were found to be high, with the energy consumption calculated as 2.42 kWh/kg COD and 19.43 kWh/m(3). The approximate cost to treat 1 m(3) wastewater was calculated as $6.43. The kinetic behavior followed a pseudo-first-order model.

Summary: Electrochemical treatment with platinum/titanium mesh electrodes was applied to sludge for the first time in this study. The results showed that this treatment method increased the soluble COD content in the sludge, leading to an increase in methane production. The study also found that pH values higher or lower than the pH value of the sludge are favorable for the degradation of organic substances.
