Oil-based cuttings (OBCs) produced by shale gas exploitation are classified as hazardous waste. Their appropriate utilization and disposal is a key issue that urgently needs to be resolved. A single-phase microemulsion (SPM) has ultra-low interfacial tension and strong solubilization ability.

Understanding the physicochemical characteristics of oil-based cuttings (OBCs) is an important foundation for subsequent treatment and management. The macro- and microscopic properties of white oil-based cuttings (WOBCs) and diesel-based cuttings (DBCs) after the different pretreatment steps have been assessed using scanning electron microscopy. The organic and inorganic compositions of OBCs have been analyzed using X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Methods: Hospitalized patients with primary liver cancer treated in our hospital were included in this study and all patients (N.=61) were numbered according to the inclusion sequence and were randomized into group A and group B: 1) group A: precise liver resection by using simplified blocking combining with electrotome; 2) group B: precise liver resection by using half-hepatic occlusion + CUSA assisting liver parenchyma transection+ lower central venous pressure controlled by the anesthesiologist.
