Huang H, Wang Y, Wu X, Zhang J, Huang X. Nanomaterials for Modified Asphalt and Their Effects on Viscosity Characteristics: A Comprehensive Review. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 14:1503. [PMID: 39330660 PMCID: PMC11435311 DOI: 10.3390/nano14181503] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2024] [Revised: 09/09/2024] [Accepted: 09/14/2024] [Indexed: 09/28/2024]
Abstract
The application of nanomaterials as modifiers in the field of asphalt is increasingly widespread, and this paper aims to systematically review research on the impact of nanomaterials on asphalt viscosity. The results find that nanomaterials tend to increase asphalt's viscosity, enhancing its resistance to high-temperature rutting and low-temperature cracking. Zero-dimension nanomaterials firmly adhere to the asphalt surface, augmenting non-bonding interactions through van der Waals forces and engaging in chemical reactions to form a spatial network structure. One-dimensional nanomaterials interact with non-polar asphalt molecules, forming bonds between tube walls, thereby enhancing adhesion, stability, and resistance to cyclic loading. Meanwhile, these bundled materials act as reinforcement to transmit stress, preventing or delaying crack propagation. Two-dimensional nanomaterials, such as graphene and graphene oxide, participate in chemical interactions, forming hydrogen bonds and aromatic deposits with asphalt molecules, affecting asphalt's surface roughness and aggregate movement, which exhibit strong adsorption capacity and increase the viscosity of asphalt. Polymers reduce thermal movement and compact asphalt structures, absorbing light components and promoting the formation of a cross-linked network, thus enhancing high-temperature deformation resistance. However, challenges such as poor compatibility and dispersion, high production costs, and environmental and health concerns currently hinder the widespread application of nanomaterial-modified asphalt. Consequently, addressing these issues through comprehensive economic and ecological evaluations is crucial before large-scale practical implementation.

Abstract
This study presents the effect of ultra-violet (UV) light radiation on the process kinetics, metabolic performance, and biodegradation capability of Scenedesmus vacuolatus. The impact of the UV radiation on S. vacuolatus morphology, chlorophyll, carotenoid, carbohydrates, proteins, lipid accumulation, growth rate, substrate affinity and substrate versatility were evaluated. Thereafter, a preliminary biodegradative potential of UV-exposed S. vacuolatus on spent coolant waste (SCW) was carried out based on dehydrogenase activity (DHA) and total petroleum hydrocarbon degradation (TPH). Pronounced structural changes were observed in S. vacuolatus exposed to UV radiation for 24 h compared to the 2, 4, 6, 12 and 48 h UV exposure. Exposure of S. vacuolatus to UV radiation improved cellular chlorophyll (chla = 1.89-fold, chlb = 2.02-fold), carotenoid (1.24-fold), carbohydrates (4.62-fold), proteins (1.44-fold) and lipid accumulations (1.40-fold). In addition, the 24 h UV exposed S. vacuolatus showed a significant increase in substrate affinity (1/Ks) (0.959), specific growth rate (µ) (0.024 h-1) and biomass accumulation (0.513 g/L) by 1.50, 2 and 1.9-fold respectively. Moreover, enhanced DHA (55%) and TPH (100%) degradation efficiency were observed in UV-exposed S. vacuolatus. These findings provided major insights into the use of UV radiation to enhance S. vacuolatus biodegradative performance towards sustainable green environment negating the use of expensive chemicals and other unfriendly environmental practices.

Abstract
Toxic materials in waste generally contain several components of the global trending pollutant category, especially PAHs and heavy metals. Bioremediation technology for waste management that utilizes microorganisms (bacteria) has not been fully capable of breaking down these toxic materials into simple and environmentally friendly chemical products. This review paper examines the potential application of a consortium of marine sponge symbionts with high performance and efficiency in removing PAHs and heavy metal contaminants. The method was carried out through a review of several related research articles by the author and published by other researchers. The results of the study conclude that the development of global trending pollutant (GTP) bioremediation technology could be carried out to increase the efficiency of remediation. Several types of marine sponge symbiont bacteria, hydrocarbonoclastic (R-1), metalloclastic (R-2), and metallo-hydro-carbonoclastic (R-3), have the potential to be applied to improve waste removal performance. A consortium of crystalline bacterial preparations is required to mobilize into GTP-exposed sites rapidly. Bacterial symbionts of marine sponges can be traced mainly to sea sponges, whose body surface is covered with mucus.

Abstract
Oily sludge is a residue from the petroleum industry composed of a mixture of sand, water, metals, and high content of hydrocarbons (HCs). The heavy oily sludge used in this study originated from Colombian crude oil with high density and low American Petroleum Institute (API) gravity. The residual waste from heavy oil processing was subject to thermal and centrifugal extraction, resulting in heavy oily sludge with very high density and viscosity. Biodegradation of the total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) was tested in microcosms using several bioremediation approaches, including: biostimulation with bulking agents and nutrients, the surfactant Tween 80, and bioaugmentation. Select HC degrading bacteria were isolated based on their ability to grow and produce clear zones on different HCs. Degradation of TPH in the microcosms was monitored gravimetrically and with gas chromatography (GC). The TPH removal in all treatments ranged between 2 and 67%, regardless of the addition of microbial consortiums, amendments, or surfactants within the tested parameters. The results of this study demonstrated that bioremediation of heavy oily sludge presents greater challenges to achieve regulatory requirements. Additional physicochemical treatments analysis to remediate this recalcitrant material may be required to achieve a desirable degradation rate.

Trend in Research on Characterization, Environmental Impacts and Treatment of Oily Sludge: A Systematic Review. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27227795. [PMID: 36431896 PMCID: PMC9695482 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27227795] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2022] [Revised: 11/08/2022] [Accepted: 11/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Oily sludge is a hazardous material generated from the petroleum industry that has attracted increasing research interest. Although several review articles have dealt with specific subtopics focusing on the treatment of oily sludge based on selected references, no attempt has been made to demonstrate the research trend of oily sludge comprehensively and quantitatively. This study conducted a systematic review to analyze and evaluate all oily sludge-related journal articles retrieved from the Web of Science database. The results show that an increase in oily sludge-related research did not take place until recent years and the distribution of the researchers is geographically out of balance. Most oily sludge-related articles focused on treatment for harmfulness reduction or valorization with limited coverage of formation, characterization, and environmental impact assessment of oily sludge. Pyrolytic treatment has attracted increasing research attention in recent years. So far, the research findings have been largely based on laboratory-scale experiments with insufficient consideration of the cost-effectiveness of the proposed treatment methods. Although many methods have been proposed, few alone could satisfactorily achieve cost-effective treatment goals. To enable sustainable management of oily sludge on a global scale, efforts need to be made to fund more research projects, especially in the major oil-producing countries. Pilot-scale experiments using readily available and affordable materials should be encouraged for practical purposes. This will allow a sensible cost-benefit analysis of a proposed method/procedure for oily sludge treatment. To improve the treatment performance, combined methods are more desirable. To inform the smart selection of methods for the treatment of different oily sludge types, it is suggested to develop universally accepted evaluation systems for characterization and environmental risk of oily sludge.

Abstract
Oil emulsions are very stable, so both the treatment and the recovery of marine oil spills require expensive technologies, sometimes inefficient. Thus, studies of alternative methods for the treatment of oily effluents and phytoremediation are very important for sustainable development. The objective of this study was to use a chemically modified biomass of Salvinia sp. (SOH), for the removal of oil from oil-in-water emulsions. Initially, a chemical modification was carried out to remove interferences and to increase the adsorption capacity of the biomass. Physicochemical characterization tests were performed to understand the structure of the adsorbent produced as well as to verify changes going on the surface of the material. Adsorption tests were done, such as concentration variation, time, temperature and pH. The maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) of SOH was obtained in 15 min and was 574.86 mg g-1 in oil-in-salt water emulsion and 525.92 mg g-1, for oil-in-water emulsion. The isotherm model that best fitted was Freundlich model and for the kinetic model, the best fit was obtained with the intraparticle diffusion model. Thermodynamic studies indicate that SOH has physisorption, and the process is spontaneous and reversible.

Abstract
In the present research, a bioremediation process was developed using solid complex bacterial agents (SCBA) through a combined two-step biodegradation process. Four isolated strains showed high efficiency for the degradation of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and the reduction of COD of the oily sludge, at 96.6% and 92.6%, respectively. The mixed strains together with bran prepared in form of SCBA exhibited improved performance compared to individual strains, all of which had an optimal temperature of around 35 °C. The use of SCBA provided advantages over commonly used liquid media for storage and transportation. The two-step process, consisting of firstly biosurfactant-assisted oil recovery and secondly biodegradation of the remaining TPH with SCBA, demonstrated the capability for treating oily sludge with high TPH content (>10 wt%) and short process period (60 days). The large-scale (5 tons oily sludge) field test, achieving a TPH removal efficiency of 93.8% and COD reduction of 91.5%, respectively, confirmed the feasibility and superiority of the technology for industrial applications.

Novel Magnetic Nano Silica Synthesis Using Barley Husk Waste for Removing Petroleum from Polluted Water for Environmental Sustainability. SUSTAINABILITY 2020.

Abstract
Water contamination by petroleum and its byproducts presents a major challenge worldwide. It is critical that sustainable treatment methods be employed for the removal of such contaminants from polluted water. For this investigation, magnetic nano silica (M-NS) was synthesized using agricultural waste from barley husk using a two-step process that is environmentally friendly and uses green chemistry synthesis. The barley husk waste was used as a precursor for the synthesis of nano-silica following a low energy and sustainable method of acid reflux and heat treatment. Nano-silica was then used for the synthesis of M-NS, with the addition of a magnetic solution of Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The magnetic nano-silica particles were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Zeta potential analysis (ZETA) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Magnetic nano-silica particles were observed to have an average diameter of 162 nm and appeared to be hydrophobic, with a large surface area of ~120 m2/gm. Due to these characteristics, magnetic nano-silica was used as an adsorbent for the removal of petrol contaminants from water. The experimental procedure showed that only 0.6 gm. of M-NS was used on 40 mg/L concentration of petroleum and the experiments recorded a high uptake efficiency of 85%. The sorption was shown to be an effective process since a high amount of petroleum was removed. The study further demonstrates that as the amount of sorbent is increased, the sorption capacity also increases until an equilibrium is reached. The results of this study establish that synthesis of M-NS, using environmentally sustainable processes, has the required characteristics to serve as sorbent for petroleum and its byproducts from contaminated water, thus enhancing environmental sustainability.

Abstract
PURPOSE The kinetic studies and effect of amendment addition on the performance of the composting process in reduction of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) from petroleum contaminated soils (PCS) were investigated in the present research. METHODS Seven composting experiments containing various mixing ratios of PCS to unfinished compost (UC) and finished compost (FC) were set up and operated for 14 weeks. The mixing rations consisted of 1:0 (as control experiment), 1:0.3, 1:0.6, and 1:1. The initial C/N/P and moisture contents of the composting piles were adjusted to 100/5/1 and 50-55%, respectively. RESULTS Results showed that 50.09-79.49% of TPH was removed in the composting experiments after 14 weeks. The highest and lowest removal rates were achieved in the ratios of 1:1 and 1:0.3, respectively. Moreover, application of UC as amendments and bulking agent is more efficient than FC. The biodecomposition of TPH was fitted to the first-order kinetic with the half lives and rate constants of 5.63-11.55 days and 0.060-0.123 d-1, respectively. The bacteria detected from the composting treatments were Staphylococcus sp., Bacillus sp., and Pseudomonas sp. CONCLUSIONS The study confirmed the suitability of composting process for PCS bioremediation and superiority of UC than FC as bulking agent.

Abstract
A laboratory-scale study was conducted to investigate the effect of bioaugmentation (BA) and biostimulation (BS) on the remediation of oily sludge with high total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) content (269,000 mg/kg d.w. sludge). TPH concentration significantly decreased by 30.4% (P < 0.05) in the BS treatment after 13-week incubation, and 17.0 and 9.1% of TPH was removed in the BA and control treatments (amended with sterile water only), respectively. Aliphatic and other fractions (i.e., saturated n-alkanes and cyclic saturated alkanes) were reduced in the BS treatment, whereas no decrease in aromatic hydrocarbons occurred in any treatment. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of aliphatic fractions showed that low-chain-length alkanes (C8-C20) were the most biodegradable fractions. The BS treatment supported fungal proliferation, with Sordariomycetes and Eurotiomycetes as the dominant classes. BS increased fungal diversity and decreased fungal abundance, and changed bacterial community structure. The findings show the potential of using BS to treat oily sludge with high TPH content.

Experimental data of designing an optimal system for storage, collection and transfer of household waste in the GIS environment: A case study of Tehran, district 22, Iran. Data Brief 2018; 19:1605-1613. [PMID: 30229032 PMCID: PMC6141366 DOI: 10.1016/j.dib.2018.06.064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2018] [Revised: 06/09/2018] [Accepted: 06/19/2018] [Indexed: 12/07/2022] Open
Abstract
This study was conducted to correctly manage the system of storage, collection and transfer of wastes in district 22, Tehran. After reviewing existing methods, an optimal system was designed in the GIS environment and appropriate solutions were suggested. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was used. After extracting result criteria, these criteria were provided to 15 experts and managers by means of a Delphi questionnaire. Screening of the criteria was done using the criterion importance graph; a necessary condition to apply criteria and sub-criteria, is having at least half the numerical value of each vertical and horizontal vector. The results of the study showed that the most important criterion associated with the selection of waste transfer station is "distance from residential houses" with a final weight of 0.341. "Suitable traffic conditions" and "lack of noise pollution" are the next important criteria with weights of 0.259 and 0.118, respectively. Finally, "non-destruction of recreational facilities" was chosen as the least important (weight of 0.03). Transfer in this district is also 100% mechanized. At the district level, there are 10 garbage trucks, of which 7 collect during night and 3 during day. Given per capita of the district, it takes about 10 min to collect each ton of waste. In general, in order to investigate and plan specific methods in the study district, using Geographic Information System, the location of reservoirs in residential and commercial districts has been determined and suggested with a coefficient of 0.75.
