Article Synopsis
- Petrochemical wastewater contains harmful organic and inorganic pollutants, posing risks to soil, water, and human health.
- This study aims to recover valuable aromatics (like benzene and toluene) and water from this wastewater while removing toxic heavy metals through a specific treatment process using sodium bicarbonate.
- The effectiveness of the process was confirmed through Aspen Hysys simulation and lab experiments, achieving over 99.5% removal of heavy metals, highlighting the potential for recycling and sustainability in petrochemical industries.
