Oily
refinery wastewater, a complex and voluminous byproduct of the petroleum
industry, poses a significant threat to our environment. This wastewater
contains a nasty cocktail of pollutants like oil, heavy metals, organic waste,
and aromatic hydrocarbons. Our recently published review article titled “A
review on recent developments and future prospects in the treatment of oily
petroleum refinery wastewater by adsorption” published in Journal
of Water Process Engineering (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2214714424008481)
explores the exciting potential of adsorption technology as a powerful tool for
cleaning up this harmful wastewater.
