Abstract
This paper describes a microwave heating technique as a new method for the treatment of oil-contaminated drill cuttings (OCDC). The effects of power, treatment time and moisture content on the thermal desorption of oil were studied, and it was found that under certain operating conditions the oil levels could be reduced to below the current environmental discharge limit of 1%. For a sample mass of 40 g, it is shown that approximately 20 s of microwave treatment is required in order to reduce the residual oil levels close to or below the 1% threshold. The major limitation in the minimum achievable residual oil levels appears to be the moisture content, however, it is shown that increasing the amount of water in the samples can potentially overcome such limitations.
期刊介绍：
Separation and Purification Technology is a premier journal committed to sharing innovative methods for separation and purification in chemical and environmental engineering, encompassing both homogeneous solutions and heterogeneous mixtures. Our scope includes the separation and/or purification of liquids, vapors, and gases, as well as carbon capture and separation techniques. However, it's important to note that methods solely intended for analytical purposes are not within the scope of the journal. Additionally, disciplines such as soil science, polymer science, and metallurgy fall outside the purview of Separation and Purification Technology. Join us in advancing the field of separation and purification methods for sustainable solutions in chemical and environmental engineering.
