Abstract
ABSTRACT Wastewater generated as a result of extracting oil and gas from subterranean reservoirs is known as produced water. There are suspended solids, dissolved solids, organic and inorganic compounds, emulsified oil, and other substances. Untreated produced water may have a harmful impact on the ecology. In this study, waste from Coronavirus Face Masks was used as an adsorbent dosage for produced water adsorption discharged from the south Oil Company – Basra. In each trial, a 250 ml beaker held 100 ml of generated water, temperature (25, 35 and 50)°C, adsorbent dosage (2, 5 and 10)g, Investigations were also conducted on contact duration (30, 60, and 90) minutes, pH at (2, 4, 6, and 8), and mixer rotational speed (200 rpm). The ideal parameters for removing 97 percent of the oil were determined to be 25°C, pH 8, 5 g of adsorbent, and 90 min of contact time using a generic model built from the experimental data. Other oil removal equilibrium isotherm models did not adequately account for the experimental results, as did the Langmuir equation. The most common type of adsorption used in kinetics research is pseudo-first-order adsorption.
