Treatment of Emulsified Oil in Produced Water from Oil wells by Adsorption on to Corn-Cob as Sorbent

In this work , a fixed –bed system has been used to study the performance of corn-cob as low cost adsorbent for Treatment of dispersed oil droplets in oil-well product water in this system . In effect of initial oil content (600-1500 ppm), volumetric flow rate (2-5L/min), Bed height (25-35cm) and p...

Description
Summary:In this work , a fixed –bed system has been used to study the performance of corn-cob as low cost adsorbent for Treatment of dispersed oil droplets in oil-well product water in this system . In effect of initial oil content (600-1500 ppm), volumetric flow rate (2-5L/min), Bed height (25-35cm) and particle size (1.05-1.6mm) were studied. The results show that removal oil efficiency reaches high percent with decreasing of initial oil concentration, volumetric flow rate particle size and increasing of bed height.
