Summary: The treatment of wastewater from petroleum refineries is crucial for environmental protection. This study investigated the solar photo-electro-Fenton (SPEF) process for reducing the chemical oxygen demand (COD) in the effluent from the Bijee petroleum refinery plant in Iraq. The experimental results showed that Fe2+ concentration had the greatest impact on COD removal efficiency, accounting for 47.7%. This was followed by current density at 18.26% and the addition of NaCl at 11.20%. The optimized conditions were an initial pH of 3, current density of 10 mA/cm2, Fe2+ concentration of 0.8 mM, NaCl addition of 0.747 g/L, and a duration of 87 minutes, resulting in a COD removal efficiency of 93.20% and an energy consumption of 15.97 kWh/kg COD.

Summary: The surface porosity of graphene-based aerogels plays a crucial role in applications involving mass transfer. Through experiments and simulations, it is found that high shear stress during the fabrication process leads to a non-porous surface, while crosslinking of the sheets results in a porous surface. Controlling the surface porosity of printed graphene-oxide aerogels (GOA) can be achieved by regulating the crosslinking agents and shear stress. The study demonstrates the performance advantages of GOA with porous surface in dye adsorption, highlighting the importance of surface porosity in specific applications.

Summary: Petroleum refinery effluents (PRE) are wastewaters from oil refining industries. This study aimed to assess the contribution of PREs to mixture toxic pressure in the environment using msPAF as an indicator. The msPAF levels of most effluents were substantially reduced downstream, indicating low to negligible toxicity of PREs beyond the initial mixing zone. Hydrocarbons and inorganics explained at least 85% of the mixture toxic pressure.

Summary: Immobilization of enzymes has been proposed as a method to simplify their separation and reuse, but it also leads to additional diffusion limitations that fully utilize enzyme activity. This study focuses on the immobilization of lipase on zeolite and its application in oil hydrolysis. The Sips model is identified as the best description for the adsorption process, and the zeolite's adsorption capacity is determined to be 62.6 mg/g. The experimental results of enzymatic hydrolysis of olive oil using the immobilized lipase show that both surface reaction and diffusion have significant effects.

Summary: Drilling fluids play a crucial role in drilling operations, providing lubrication, cooling, integrity maintenance, and cuttings transportation. With the increasing energy demands, the usage of drilling fluids, including oil-based muds and water-based muds, has significantly increased. However, the large-scale use of fluids without careful monitoring can lead to severe environmental consequences. To address this, researchers have explored the use of biodegradable and environmentally friendly additives, known as green formulations. This comprehensive review provides an overview of recent green fluids and additives, with a focus on their feasibility and economic comparison. The development of multifunctional drilling fluids with good hole-cleaning properties using these additives is suggested, filling the gap in the existing literature.
