Molecular separation of ibuprofen and 4-isobutylacetophenone using octanol organic solution by porous polymeric membranes. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0237271.

Abstract
Molecular separation of pharmaceutical contaminants from water has been recently of great interest to alleviate their detrimental impacts on environment and human well-being. As the novelty, this investigation aims to develop a mechanistic modeling approach and consequently its related CFD-based simulations to evaluate the molecular separation efficiency of ibuprofen (IP) and its metabolite 4-isobutylacetophenone (4-IBAP) from water inside a porous membrane contactor (PMC). For this purpose, octanol has been applied as an organic phase to extract IP and 4-IBAP from the aqueous solution due to high solubility of solutes in octanol. Finite element (FE) technique is used as a promising tool to simultaneously solve continuity and Navier-Stokes equations and their associated boundary conditions in tube, shell and porous membrane compartments of the PMC. The results demonstrated that the application of PMC and liquid-liquid extraction process can be significantly effective due to separating 51 and 54% of inlet IP and 4-IBAP molecules from aqueous solution, respectively. Moreover, the impact of various operational / functional parameters such as packing density, the number of fibrous membrane, the module length, the membrane porosity / tortuosity, and ultimately the aqueous solution flow rate on the molecular separation efficiency of IP and 4-IBAP is studied in more details.

Abstract
In the current decades, water shortage is well understood as one of the main limiting factors for oil industry development all over the world. One of the available and reasonable solutions is reusing wastewater. The oily wastewater treatment unit of the IKORC oil refinery provides a portion of the makeup water for cooling towers, applying physical, biological, and chemical treatments. Ammonia shocks are the only crisis that disrupts the nitrification process. This condition eventuates in destroying the microorganisms of aeration basins and leads to a high ammonia containing effluent. In order to protect the aeration process, it is mandatory to apply a suitable system for removing excess ammonia. In this study, at first, ammonia removal history is reviewed. Then quantity and quality of the oily sewer are investigated. Because of high volatility of ammonia contamination and high TDS, a stripping tower with air is selected among diverse solutions. Taking into account the principles of project econometrics, operating parameters such as stripping factor, pressure drop, tower volumetric flow rate, and number of towers are determined. Then, the process is designed and its environmental survey is conducted. Finally, calculating indices proved that this project is economically profitable in addition to its environmental benefits.
