Abstract: | In this study, demulsification separation-Fenton oxidation technology was employed as a combined technology to treat total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in oil-based drill cuttings (OBDC). Batch experiments were carried out to optimize the technology parameter. Under the optimal condition, 70% and 51% TPH removal rate was obtained for demulsification technology and Fenton oxidation technology, respectively. Eighty-five percent of TPH removal rate was obtained using combination technology of demulsification separation and Fenton oxidation. Multiple characterizations were used to analyze the physical and chemical properties of treated OBDC. The result of XRD pattern indicated the combination technology had no obvious effect for structure phase of OBDC. The results of FTIR, GC-MS, TG-DTG and SEM were used to characterize the treated OBDC. This paper provides an efficient and feasible combined technology for OBDC treatment, which expands a new strategy for the removal of TPH from solid waste |
