Adsorptive batch and biological treatments of produced water: Recent progresses, challenges, and potentials
(
Academic Press
, 2021 , Article)
Produced water is responsible for the largest contribution in terms of waste stream volume associated with the production of oil and gas. Characterization of produced water is very crucial for the determination of its main ...
Functionalization of reverse osmosis membrane with graphene oxide and polyacrylic acid to control biofouling and mineral scaling
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
The polyamide reverse osmosis (RO) membrane was modified with graphene oxide (GO), followed by polymerization of acrylic acid (used as an antiscalant) for the reduction of both biofouling and mineral scaling. After ...
