Refinery Wastewater Management Using Multiple Angle Oil-Water Separators
REFINERY WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT USING MULTIPLE ANGLE OIL-WATER SEPARATORS Kirby S. Mohr, P.E. Mohr Separations Research, Inc. 1278 FM 407 Suite 109 Lewisville, TX 75077 Phone: 918-299-9290 Cell: 918-269-8710 John N. Veenstra, Ph.D., P.E., Oklahoma State University Dee Ann Sanders, Ph.D., P.E. Oklahoma State University A paper presented at the International Petroleum Environment Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico, 1998 ABSTRACT In this work, an overview of oil-water separation, as used in the petroleum refining industries, is presented along with case studies. Discussions include: impact of solids, legal aspects, and differing types of systems currently in use, along with their advantages and disadvantages. Performance information on separators is presented with an emphasis on new multiple angle coalescing plate technology for refinery wastewater management. Several studies are presented including a large (20,000 US GPM flow rate) system recently installed at a major US refinery. The separator was constructed by converting two existing API separators into four separators, and adding multiple angle coalescing plates to increase throughput and efficiency. A year of operating experience with this system indicates good performance and few problems. Other examples provide information on separators installed in the United States and other countries. Keywords: Oil-water separator, multiple angle, coalescence, refinery, wastewater management, petroleum, coalescing plate technology BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION Oil has been refined for various uses for at least 1000 years. An Arab handbook written by Al-Razi, in approximately 865 A.D., describes distillation of “naft” (naphtha) for use in lamps and thus the beginning of oil refining (Forbes). -

Abstract: The active components in garlic essential oil are easily degradable, which limits its ap- plication in the food industry. Vegetable oils (VOs) were used to improve the stability of garlic essential oil (GEO) emulsion. The volatile compounds of GEO and its mixtures with vegetable oils (VOs), including corn oil (CO), soybean oil (SO), and olive oil (OO) indicated that GEO-VO mixtures had a higher percentage of Diallyl disulfide and Diallyl trisulfide than pure GEO. Adding an appropriate amount of VOs promoted the GEO emulsion (whey protein concentrate and inulin as Citation: Zhao, Y.; Liu, R.; Qi, C.; Li, the wall materials) stability in order of CO > SO > OO. Evaluation of the encapsulation efficiency, W.; Rifky, M.; Zhang, M.; Xiao, P.; Wu, controlled release, and antimicrobial activity of GEO-VO microcapsules showed that the GEO was T.; Sui, W. -

Gravity Concentration in Artisanal Gold Mining
minerals Review Gravity Concentration in Artisanal Gold Mining Marcello M. Veiga * and Aaron J. Gunson Norman B. Keevil Institute of Mining Engineering, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z4, Canada; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 21 September 2020; Accepted: 13 November 2020; Published: 18 November 2020 Abstract: Worldwide there are over 43 million artisanal miners in virtually all developing countries extracting at least 30 different minerals. Gold, due to its increasing value, is the main mineral extracted by at least half of these miners. The large majority use amalgamation either as the final process to extract gold from gravity concentrates or from the whole ore. This latter method has been causing large losses of mercury to the environment and the most relevant world’s mercury pollution. For years, international agencies and researchers have been promoting gravity concentration methods as a way to eventually avoid the use of mercury or to reduce the mass of material to be amalgamated. This article reviews typical gravity concentration methods used by artisanal miners in developing countries, based on numerous field trips of the authors to more than 35 countries where artisanal gold mining is common. Keywords: artisanal mining; gold; gravity concentration 1. Introduction Worldwide, there are more than 43 million micro, small, medium, and large artisanal miners extracting at least 30 different minerals in rural regions of developing countries (IGF, 2017) [1]. Approximately 20 million people in more than 70 countries are directly involved in artisanal gold mining (AGM), with an estimated gold production between 380 and 450 tonnes per annum (tpa) (Seccatore et al., 2014 [2], Thomas et al., 2019 [3], Stocklin-Weinberg et al., 2019 [4], UNEP, 2020 [5]). -
A Marine Waste Biorefinery
A Marine Waste Biorefinery A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) at Newcastle University by Ahmed Said Hamed Al Hatrooshi November 2019 Abstract Biodiesel is a renewable alternative to ‘petro-diesel’. There is already an established, conventional production technology based on refined vegetable oils. However, this is always more expensive than producing petroleum-based diesel, mainly due to the feedstock cost. Use of a cheap, non- edible feedstock, such as waste shark liver oil (WSLO), would reduce the biodiesel production cost and make the process economically viable. WSLO is obtained by exposing sharks’ livers to the sun until they melt and collecting the oil produced. Sharks’ livers comprise 25-30% of their body weight. Historically, the discarded WSLO was used for waterproofing wooden boats. However, this application is no longer required, as modern boats are made of fibreglass. The excess WSLO derived from these discarded sharks’ livers has great potential for being further processed into valuable products, including biodiesel, squalene and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), such as eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA). The glyceride components of the WSLO can be converted into biodiesel using existing biodiesel processing technologies, while the squalene, EPA and DHA may be extracted and sold as value-added products through biorefinery processes. This study investigated the production of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) from WSLO using both acid (sulfuric acid, H2SO4) and base (sodium hydroxide, NaOH) catalysts. Due to the high levels of free fatty acids (FFA) in WSLO, homogeneous alkali-catalysed transesterification was less effective than the acid-catalysed process, resulting in a maximum WSLO to FAME conversion of only 40% after 15 min at a 60°C temperature, a 1.5 wt.% of NaOH catalyst and a 6:1 molar ratio of methanol to WSLO. -
On the Association of Palladium-Bearing Gold, Hematite and Gypsum in an Ouro Preto Nugget

JONES 1636 East Skyline Drive, Tucson, Arizona 85178, U.S.A. ORLANDO G. ROCHA FILHO Mina do Gongo Soco, Companhia Vale do Rio Doce, Fazenda Gongo Soco, Caixa Postal 22, 35970-000 Barão de Cocais – MG, Brazil ABSTRACT An ouro preto (black gold) nugget from Gongo Soco, Minas Gerais, Brazil, has a mineral assemblage of hematite and gypsum hosted by Pd-bearing gold. The hematite inclusion is microfractured and stretched. Scattered on the surface of the gold is a dark- colored material that consists partially of Pd–O with relics of palladium arsenide-antimonides, compositionally close to isomertieite and mertieite-II. The Pd–O coating has considerable amounts of Cu, Fe and Hg, and a variable metal:oxygen ratio, from O-deficient to oxide-like compounds. The existence of a hydrated Pd–O compound is suggested, and its dehydration or deoxygenation at low temperatures may account for the O-deficient Pd-rich species, interpreted as a transient phase toward native palladium. Although gypsum is a common mineral in the oxidized (supergene) zones of gold deposits, the hematite–gypsum- bearing palladian gold nugget was tectonically deformed under brittle conditions and appears to be of low-temperature hydrother- mal origin. -
Chapter 15. Gravity Separation
Chapter 15. Gravity Separation IS. INTRODUCTION Separation by density difference is a process that is as old as recorded history. Separation of gold by density difference dates back to at least 3,000 BC as depicted in writings from ancient Egypt. The principle employed in gravity separation goes back further in time to the formation and weathering of the rocks and the releasing of the minerals they contain and the transport of the mineral grains by heavy rains. It is the driving force for the formation of the alluvial deposits of precious metals and gemstones that have been worked since beyond recorded history as they still are today. Archaeological excavations have discovered mineral concentration activities such as the lead-silver concentrating plant in Attica, Greece, dating from 300-400 BC. So gravity separation has a long history as a mineral concentration process. Not all mineral combinations are amenable to this type of concentration technique. To determine the suitability of gravity separation processes to a particular ore type, a concentration criterion is commonly used. A concentration criterion (CC) can be defined as [1]: „ . „. SG of heavy mineral-SG of fluid ,<-,.. Concentration Criterion = (15.1) SG of light mineral - SG of fluid where SG = specific gravity (or density), and the fluid is typically water or air. Some concentration criterion ratios for minerals that are treated by gravity separation are given in Table 15.1. Table 15.1 Concentration criterion for some common minerals separated by gravity separation from a gangue of density 2650 kg/m3 Mineral Fluid CC Gold water 10.3 Gold air 6.8 Cassiterite water 3.5 Coal water 3.4 Hematite water 2.5 A guideline for separability by gravity based on this concentration criterion is given in Table 15.2. -
The Geological Occurrence, Mineralogy, and Processing by Flotation of Platinum Group Minerals (Pgms) in South Africa and Russia
minerals Review The Geological Occurrence, Mineralogy, and Processing by Flotation of Platinum Group Minerals (PGMs) in South Africa and Russia Cyril O’Connor 1,* and Tatiana Alexandrova 2 1 Department of Chemical Engineering, Centre for Minerals Research, University of Cape Town, Cape Town 7701, South Africa 2 Department of Minerals Processing, St Petersburg Mining University, St Petersburg 199106, Russia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Russia and South Africa are the world’s leading producers of platinum group elements (PGEs). This places them in a unique position regarding the supply of these two key industrial commodities. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comparative high-level overview of aspects of the geological occurrence, mineralogy, and processing by flotation of the platinum group minerals (PGMs) found in each country. A summary of some of the major challenges faced in each country in terms of the concentration of the ores by flotation is presented alongside the opportunities that exist to increase the production of the respective metals. These include the more efficient recovery of minerals such as arsenides and tellurides, the management of siliceous gangue and chromite in the processing of these ores, and, especially in Russia, the development of novel processing routes to recover PGEs from relatively low grade ores occurring in dunites, black shale ores and in vanadium-iron-titanium-sulphide oxide formations.
