The effect of various operation parameters (including draw solution concentration, feed stream salination, and operation temperature) on desalination efficiency of the forward osmosis system utilizing such novel draw solutions was investigated, utilizing a bench-scale cross/tangential flow membrane testing system. In addition, images of membranes’ surfaces produced by scanning electron microscopes were also studied to determine the nature of fouling resulting from prolonged operations, and the effectiveness of applied cleaning procedures. Compared to the more well-established trisodium citrate-based draw solution, the novel draw solution exhibited higher water flux against deionized water, while also offering low reverse solute flux and good regeneration capability through low-pressure reverse osmosis. In particular, experiment results showed that at the initial concentration of 250 g L<sup>−1</sup>, the forward osmosis system utilizing such novel draw solution could achieve specific water fluxes of up to 9.23 L m<sup>−2</sup> h<sup>−1</sup> against deionized water, and up to 4.95 L m<sup>−2</sup> h<sup>−1</sup> against feed streams of 20‰ salinity. Additionally, such system also has relatively low operational loss, with specific reverse solute flux and reverse osmosis recovery rate of 0.22 g L<sup>−1</sup> and 98.65%, respectively.

Bioremediation as an ecofriendly and profitable treatment, can convert oil sludge to low-toxicity compounds. The aim was isolation and identification of oil sludge hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria and evaluation of their potential in oil sludge treatment. Sludge samples were taken from an oil tank reservoir located in Nezamieh, Ahvaz, Iran. Bacterial screening was done based on biosurfactant production tests including hemolysis, oil spreading assay, oil drop assay, tilting slide assay, hydrocarbon overlay assay, extracellular biosurfactant production, anionic biosurfactant production, emulsification index 24, foaming, surface tension reduction, demulsification, and microbial adhesion to hydrocarbons, as well as their oil hydrocarbon degradation potential and resistance to salt and heavy metals. From 19 isolates, six isolates with the best results in mentioned experiments and high salt and heavy metal tolerance were selected and identified according to 16S rRNA sequencing. All six isolates showed remarkable biosurfactant production and oil degradation activities. From them <i>Acinetobacter lactucae</i> strain Ib-30 was most notable with anionic biosurfactant production, foaming (67%), surface tension (29.4%), and emulsification of hydrophobic compounds (58.8%) and high biosurfactant production potential.

The findings revealed that the acoustic pressure is lowest in areas where a salty core eddy exists. This means that sound cannot penetrate areas with high density at the center of these eddies. Instead, the sound is redirected towards areas with the slowest speed. Furthermore, the acoustic RAM output shows a reversal in the acoustic pressure profile and transmission loss profile.

The core motivation associated with recycling polyethylene LDPE is the low interest in plastic convertors and the limited marketability of these commodities. The scientific focus in this area is on the development of new products having at least two general features: i) a specific application that does not require high mechanical performance, and ii) the material has a unique functionality that is not significantly influenced by using a recyclate against the use of the pristine polymer. Recycled polyolefins fully satisfied these requirements. This review pays special attention to the theoretical aspects of polymeric sorbents. Specific features of sorbents are analyzed depending on their geometry and morphology, involving powders, membranes/mats, and 3D foams (sponges)/gels. The wettability and sorption mechanisms regarding the chemical composition of materials, their surface topology, and internal porosity are discussed in detail. The presented manuscript emphasizes the close connection between materials’ behavior and properties, which is crucial for efficient oil/water separation and the theoretical modeling of adsorption and absorption processes.
