Removal of oil content in oilfield produced water using chemically modified kiwi peels as efficient low-cost adsorbent

Abstract

Adsorption was deliberate as a meaning of quantity of adsorbent and pH with contact time. It was found that the percentage of adsorption changed linearly with the quantity of dosage and time nonetheless varienon-linearly by pH. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were verified and adsorption was found in appropriate healthy into these models. The removal of oil content in oilfield produced water was inspected by kiwi peels. Kiwi peels were preserved with 0.1 M sodium hydroxide, followed by sulfuric acid with 0.1 M, and washed methodically. The got correlation coefficient (R2) for different dose optional suitable of the experimental data to Freundlich model for oil content in producing water. Results presented that modified kiwi peels were active and low cost adsorbent can be productively rummage-sale for the elimination of oil content in produced water.
