Article Abstract
An alkylated sodium lignosulphonate (ALS) was prepared for highly efficient thermal washing treatment of oily sludge. The ALS was characterized for their chemical structure and surface activity. Furthermore, ALS was used as a thermal cleaning agent to treat oily sludge under different conditions to obtain an optimal thermal washing process. Finally, the oily sludge before and after thermal washing were characterized to explore its structural and compositional changes. Results obtained from the Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Two-dimensional Heteronuclear Single Quantum Coherence(2D-HSQC) confirmed the successful grafting of fatty acid chains(C12) onto the LS molecules. ALS was an ideal surfactant with suitable HLB value and excellent surface tension reduction, foaming and emulsification properties. The optimum thermal washing process for oily sludge was: thermal washing temperature 30 °C, ALS concentration 1.5 g/L.

Petroleum waste pollution presents a major environmental challenge, highlighting the need for sustainable and efficient remediation strategies. Bioremediation has emerged as a promising eco-friendly solution that utilizes microbial communities to degrade harmful hydrocarbons. Among various bioremediation approaches, composting is an established organic waste treatment method that has been effectively adapted for managing petroleum-contaminated sludge.

Global water security is facing unprecedented challenges, among which oil spills, illegal discharge of industrial wastewater, and uncontrolled discharge of oily wastewater from domestic sewage are particularly prominent. These sources of pollution not only lead to the continuous deterioration of water resource quality but also pose multiple threats to the ecological balance and human health and safety. In this background, the development of efficient oily wastewater separation and recycling technologies has become a key topic to be solved in the current environmental engineering field.

Multifunctional superhydrophobic nanocellulose-based membranes for self-cleaning, oil/water separation, photocatalytic degradation, and anti-biofouling are in great demand for sewage treatment. This demand led to the in situ deposition of Cu-MOF micro/nanoparticles on the surface of CB membranes, followed by stearic acid (STA) modification to provide excellent superhydrophobicity, which enables effective oil/water separation, photocatalytic degradation, and anti-biofouling. The CB/Cu-MOF/STA membranes created in this manner demonstrated good superhydrophobicity with a water contact angle of 160 ± 2° and superoleophobicity with an oil contact angle of 0°.

This study examined the influence of steel slag powder as an additive on the pyrolysis characteristics of sludge, including the activation energy of the reactions, in addition to inhibiting the escape of nitrogen-containing and sulfur-containing gases, while improving the bio-oil fraction. There were three methods used to calculate the average activation energy of sludge: Flynn-Wall-Ozawa, Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose, and Friedman. It can be concluded that the addition of steel slag powder accelerated sludge pyrolysis and that the kinetic modeling during the primary pyrolysis stages occurred through a reaction-level mechanism model (Fn).
