[PMID: 39072075 PMCID: PMC11270713 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c04299] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2024] [Revised: 06/18/2024] [Accepted: 07/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to synthesize ecofriendly and low-cost surfactant-based sugar, HA-ST, under mild conditions and a short route via an opening ring of hexadecylsuccinic anhydride (HA) using starch (ST). HA-ST's chemical structure, thermal behavior, and surface activity were evaluated using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and a pendant drop technique. The results indicated HA-ST formation, thermal stability, and surface activity. HA-ST's green character, low cost, and surface activity recommended its use as a demulsifier for crude oil emulsions at different affecting parameters such as temperature, seawater ratio (SR), demulsifier concentration, demulsification time (DT), and pH. HA-ST demulsification efficiency (DE) was evaluated and compared with a commercial demulsifier (CD). The results showed improved HA-ST's DE with rising temperature, SR, demulsifier concentration, DT, and pH. The DE of HAST reached 100% at 50% of SR and 250 ppm of demulsifier concentration; the same results were obtained using CD. In contrast, HA-ST gave relatively lower DE at low SR (10%) with a value of 70% than the obtained using CD with a value of 75%. The green character, low cost, and DE of HA-ST make it suitable for demulsifying crude oil emulsions, especially those containing more than 30% seawater, compared with CD, which commonly contains two or more traditional surfactants.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the corrosion resistance in natural seawater (Năvodari area) of two types of low-alloy carbon steels BVDH36 and LRAH36 by electrochemical methods. The electrochemical methods used were the evolution of the free potential (OCP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), polarization resistance (Rp) and corrosion rate (Vcorr), potentiodynamic polarization (PD), and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The studies were completed by ex situ characterization analyzes of the studied surfaces before and after corrosion such as: optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. The results of the study show us that the polarization resistance of the low-alloy carbon steel BVDH36 is higher compared to the polarization resistance of the low-alloy carbon steel LRAH36. It is also observed that with the increase in the immersion time of the samples in natural seawater, the polarization resistance of the BVDH36 alloy increases over time and finally decreases, and for the carbon steel LRAH36 the polarization resistance increases.

Heliyon 2024; 10:e30541. [PMID: 38756570 PMCID: PMC11096918 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e30541] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2023] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024] Open
Abstract
The study reports the development of a liquid smoke solution of rice husk ash (RHA) as a green corrosion inhibitor in NH4Cl solution in approaching corrosion protection for refinery facilities. The recent utilization of RHA has a partial solution to address the possible chemical to form a filming layer to disconnect bare metal and their environment. This work prepared the RHA solution by condensing the RHA vapor before adding it to various concentrations. The corrosion test of potentiodynamic and electrochemicals intends to discover the inhibitor's corrosion resistance before examining the electronic transition corresponding to the contribution of several functional groups using Ultraviolet Visible (UV-Vis) and Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Surface evaluation intends to unveil the nature of the corrosion by utilizing the Scanning Electronic and Atomic Force Microscope. The corrosion test result shows the depression of corrosion rate to 0.120 mmpy with high efficiency beyond 96 % in the addition of 7.5 ppm RHA inhibitor. The greater Nyquist semicircle diameter at high concentrations increases the adsorption of the RHA on the surface of C1018. The electronic transition of n-π* and π -π* shows an extensive contribution of C[bond, double bond]C, C[bond, double bond]O, and -OH based on the UV-Vis and FTIR test. The formation of a complex compound of Fe-(NH4Cl-RHA)n blocks the corrosion active sites to reduce the corrosion. This study paves the way for using RHA as an organic compound under NH4Cl conditions, such as in a refinery process facility.

CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 339:139784. [PMID: 37567278 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.139784] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2023] [Revised: 07/20/2023] [Accepted: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023]
Abstract
Globally increasing concern related to municipal solid waste generation is encouraging research efforts on developing alternative routes to valorize mixed refused wastes. In this way, catalytic pyrolysis is emerging as an interesting and efficient technology due to its great flexibility in terms of feedstock. In the current work, upgrading of a Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) has been investigated by catalytic pyrolysis over nanocrystalline ZSM-5 zeolite (n-ZSM-5), paying special attention to dechlorination effects due to the high Cl content of the raw waste. Thus, pretreatment of the SRF by water washing and mild thermal processing allows for a significant reduction of the Cl concentration. Regarding the catalytic pyrolysis step, the best conditions correspond with a temperature of 400 °C in the catalyst bed and 0.50 catalyst/SRF mass ratio, which lead to ca. 30 wt% oil yield (rich in aromatic hydrocarbons) together with about 40 wt% gas yield (rich in C3-C4 olefins). Accordingly, these products could find use as raw chemicals or for the production of advanced fuels. In addition, zeolite reutilization has been tested for several cycles, denoting a progressive modification of the products distribution because of coke deposition. However, an almost total recovery of the n-ZSM-5 zeolite catalytic performance is achieved after regeneration by air calcination, affording the production of an oil fraction with a Cl content as low as 40 ppm.

Simultaneous nitrogen and sulfur removal through synergy of sulfammox, anammox and sulfur-driven autotrophic denitrification in a modified bioreactor enhanced by activated carbon. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023:116341. [PMID: 37290623 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116341] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2023] [Revised: 05/28/2023] [Accepted: 06/05/2023] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Anaerobic ammonium (NH4+ - N) oxidation coupled with sulfate (SO42-) reduction (sulfammox) is a new pathway for the autotrophic removal of nitrogen and sulfur from wastewater. Sulfammox was achieved in a modified up-flow anaerobic bioreactor filled with granular activated carbon. After 70 days of operation, the NH4+ - N removal efficiency almost reached 70%, with activated carbon adsorption and biological reaction accounting for 26% and 74%, respectively. Ammonium hydrosulfide (NH4SH) was found in sulfammox by X-ray diffraction analysis for the first time, which confirmed that hydrogen sulfide (H2S) was one of the sulfammox products. Microbial results indicated that NH4+ - N oxidation and SO42- reduction in sulfammox were carried out by Crenothrix and Desulfobacterota, respectively, in which activated carbon may operate as electron shuttle. In the 15NH4+ labeled experiment, 30N2 were produced at a rate of 34.14 μmol/(g sludge·h) and no 30N2 was detected in the chemical control group, proving that sulfammox was present and could only be induced by microorganisms. The 15NO3- labeled group produced 30N2 at a rate of 88.77 μmol/(g sludge·h), demonstrating the presence of sulfur-driven autotrophic denitrification. In the adding 14NH4+ and 15NO3- group, it was confirmed that NH4+ - N was removed by the synergy of sulfammox, anammox and sulfur-driven autotrophic denitrification, where the main product of sulfammox was nitrite (NO2-) and anammox was the main cause of nitrogen loss. The findings showed that SO42- as a non-polluting species to environment may substitute NO2- to create a new "anammox" process.

Abstract
Oil leakage from water coolers in refinery circulating water occurs from time to time, which affects the long-term and stable operation of refinery units. So far, workers in the refineries still adopt manual check methods, opening water coolers one by one and checking the water's smell and color to find out the spilled water coolers. In this study, a more rapid method of source appointment of oil spill in the circulating water by combining chemical fingerprinting with model recognition was developed. Firstly, chemical fingerprints including benzene/naphthalene series, and light hydrocarbon (C3-C5) in oil samples from all water coolers in the refinery fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Gasoline, diesel, and poor oil could be distinguished in terms of benzene and naphthalene distribution. The three similar types of gasolines could be distinguished by the volatile hydrocarbons especially C3-C4. The classification model for the spill of gasoline, diesel, and poor oil in circulating water was constructed by the partial least squares discriminant analysis algorithm with a 100% correct classification rate at the concentration more than 10 ppm. The gasoline spills in the circulating backwater of the refinery were successfully recognized by the classification model. This method enables the rapid prediction of oil spill type in refinery circulating water, and a similar method by installing online instrument and software potentially can be used for monitoring the circulating water in real time.
