Abstract
The biggest waste stream in the oil and gas sector is produced water. It is made up of both organic and inorganic wastes, both of which, if untreated, are extremely harmful to the environment. This study aims to use Fe-based nanoparticles in an attempt to detoxify produced water. Fe nanoparticles were prepared using green synthesis approach, and their stability was increased by piperazine immobilisation in a chlorinated environment. Experiments on detoxification were carried out under various circumstances in order to determine the effectiveness of detoxification. Variations in the feasible detoxification parameters, including the, the amount of Green Fe nanoparticles immobilised by piperazine, the pH of the reaction medium, the duration of the detoxification process were found to improve the detoxification efficiency. Using Ultra-violet visual ray spectroscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, the properties of the prepared Fe naoparticles were analyzed. Chemical and microstructural properties of the nanoparticles were studied using X-Ray Diffraction Spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscopy and Transmission Electron Microscopy. Detoxification experiments conducted in photocatalytic environment exhibited detoxification efficiency as high as 89.3 %.
