The produced water extracted during oil and gas production includes formation water, injected water, small volumes of condensed water, and any chemical added during the oil/water separation process. Produced water contains both organic and inorganic constituents, and several studies have been conducted in the past to assess their risk. The toxicity and persistence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in produced water is of particular environmental concern, but there are very few studies on human health risk assessment from PAHs of produced water. This article summarizes the results of a conservative human health risk assessment approach for PAHs in produced water discharges to the marine environment. Due to the absence of available toxicity data for PAHs, the cancer slope factors were determined by using the relative potency factors (RPF) and Toxicity Equivalency Factors (TEF). Using the concentration distribution factors, the maximum cancer risks to humans were predicted in the range of 4.07 x 10(-7) to 2.95 x 10(-6). The 95th-percentile values show that the risks are well within the acceptable limits.

Synthesis of a Renewable, Waste-Derived Nonisocyanate Polyurethane from Fish Processing Discards and Cashew Nutshell-Derived Amines

Courtney M. Laprise, Kelly A. Hawboldt, Francesca M. Kerton, Christopher M. Kozak

Summary: Waste-derived fish oil can be epoxidized and reacted with CO(2) to produce a cyclic carbonate containing material, which can further lead to the formation of nonisocyanate polyurethane materials when reacted with a bioderived amine. The synthesized products are characterized using various spectroscopic and analytical techniques. This process provides a sustainable solution for waste management by utilizing underutilized resources to produce valuable materials.

Sulfate removal using colloid-enhanced ultrafiltration: performance evaluation and adsorption studies

Weiyun Lin, Baiyu Zhang, Xudong Ye, Kelly Hawboldt

Summary: Colloid-enhanced ultrafiltration (CEUF), including micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration (MEUF) and polymer-enhanced ultrafiltration (PEUF), has shown promising potential in removing sulfate ions from aqueous solutions. PEUF has advantages over MEUF in terms of higher retention, cleaner effluent, and higher adsorption capacity, but faces challenges of severer flux decline and membrane fouling. Membranes with higher molecular weight cut-off can be used to overcome these disadvantages.

Simulation of sour-oxic-nitrite chemical environment in oil and gas facilities

Abdulhaqq Ibrahim, Kelly Hawboldt, Christina Bottaro, Faisal Khan

Summary: The nature of the chemical environment in oil and gas fluids, such as produced water and soured oil, plays a crucial role in microbiologically influenced corrosion. The study investigates the effects of sulphide and nitrite chemistry on the corrosion potential and microbial relationships within the system. Equilibrium and kinetic models provide insights into the formation of corrosion products and the impact of nitrate on the system's chemistry and microbial activity.

A review on sources and extraction of phenolic compounds as precursors for bio-based phenolic resins

Mahsan Basafa, Kelly Hawboldt

Summary: Residues from biomass processing/harvesting can be converted to high-value chemicals and fuels through pyrolysis. Pyrolysis oils derived from lignocellulosic biomass, particularly hemp residues, have potential as sources of bio-phenols. The extraction and recovery of phenolic compounds from pyrolysis oils require further investigation for optimizing pre-treatment, extraction, and analytical techniques. Considerable progress has been made in producing cost-effective renewable phenolic resins, but challenges remain in achieving satisfactory quality and low cost.

Summary: This study demonstrates the cost-effective production of biosurfactants using waste substrates and optimized cultural conditions. By using waste cooking oil as the sole carbon source, a biosurfactant with high stability in thermal, pH, and salinity conditions was successfully produced. The combination of indigenous bacteria and no-cost carbon sources from waste shows great promise in reducing production costs and producing biosurfactants tailored for harsh environments like the North Atlantic.
