Co-combustion was proposed as an effective and complementary means for the co-treatment of low rank coal semicoke (LRCS) and oil sludge. The combustion, kinetics and gaseous pollutants emission characteristics during co-combustion of LRCS and oil sludge were investigated by thermogravimetric analyzer coupled with Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (TG-FTIR). Results showed oil sludge had more complex weight loss characteristics than LRCS. Proper addition of oil sludge could effectively improve the ignition, burnout and comprehensive combustion performance of blends and 60% was a recommended oil sludge blend ratio. High heating rates could also enhance the combustion performance of blends. The activation energy determined by Coats-Redfern method gradually decreased with the increase of oil sludge blend ratio. DAEM kinetic analysis results showed the maximum activation energy of 113.4 kJ/mol was obtained when conversion rate was 0.4 due to the poor ignition performance of LRCS. All of the CO, CO, NOx and SO emission gradually decreased with the increasing oil sludge blend ratio. LRCS had suppression effect on NOx emission during co-combustion while oil sludge was just the opposite. The low sulfur release rate of oil sludge resulted in the decreasing SO emission of blends although oil sludge had promotion effect on SO emission.

The solid phase composition in oily sludge (OS) is a key factor affecting the oil-solid separation of OS. In this paper, the effects and mechanisms of solid-phase particle factors on the oil content of residue phase were investigated in order to improve the oil-solid separation efficiency. Flotation experiments were carried out on single-size sand and mixed-size sand OS consisting of three particle sizes at room temperature without adding flotation reagents.

In the waste oil recycling industry, large amounts of oil-containing sludge are still generated, thus posing a resource depletion issue when disposed of or incinerated without energy recovery or residual oil utilization. In this work, chemical activation experiments using phosphoric acid (HPO) were performed at a low temperature (600 °C) for 30 min to produce porous carbon products. From the results of the pore property analysis, an increasing trend with an increasing impregnation ratio from 0.

Department of Environmental Engineering, Gebze Technical University, Kocaeli, 41400, Turkey.
The improper disposal of olive mill wastewater (OMW) presents a significant environmental challenge for wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in the Gaza Strip. This study aims to evaluate the impact of OMW discharge on the operational efficiency of WWTPs, particularly during the olive harvesting season. To achieve this, samples were collected from both olive mills and WWTPs across the region and analyzed for key parameters such as chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD), phenols, oil and grease, and total suspended solids (TSS).

The critical micelle concentration (CMC) is considered one of the important parameters for evaluating and comparing surfactants. We have developed a novel method for detecting the CMC of nonionic surfactants, based on the environmentally responsive characteristics of cyanine dyes probes. Notably, this method exhibits high sensitivity, visual real-time monitoring capabilities, and robust anti-interference properties.
