Advances in Oil-Water Separation: A Complete Guide for Physical, Chemical, and Biochemical Processes

Advances in Oil-Water Separation: A Complete Guide for Physical, Chemical, and Biochemical Processes discusses a broad variety of chemical, physical and biochemical processes, including skimming, membrane separation, adsorption, onsite chemical reactions, burning and usage of suitable microbial strains for onsite degradation of oil. It critically reviews all current developments in oil-water separation processes and technologies, identifies gaps and illuminates the scope for future research and development in the field.  This book provides researchers, engineers and environmental professionals working in oil recovery and storage with solutions for disposal of waste oil and separation of oil from water in a sustainable, environmentally-friendly way. As the book provides a complete state-of-art overview on oil-water separation technologies, it will also ease literature searches on oil-water separation technologies. Provides a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art developments in oil-water separation methods Discusses the pros and cons of established processes Guides the reader towards the selection of the right technique/process for each oil-water separation problem Presents current developments on adsorbent based oil-water separation INDICE: Section A: Overview on oil pollution and its effect on environment 1.
