| Abstract: | "In petroleum refineries, the electric desalting, distillation, and stripping processes could generate large amounts of wastewaters that contain toxic substances. In this study, eight wastewater samples were collected from the three typical refining processes for comprehensive chemical characterization of the dissolved organic matter (DOM) using excitation emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS). Results showed that protein-like components and benzene were ubiquitous in all these wastewaters. Oxygen-containing volatile organic compounds had higher contents in crude distillation and stripping wastewater than those in electric desalting wastewater. Among the three refinery processes, molecular composition of DOM in the stripping wastewater had the highest complexity. The O(x) and O(x)S(y) class species assigned from the negative-ion electrospray ionization FT-ICR MS were dominant in all wastewaters. The O(x)S(2) class species which were effectively removed during stripping treatment had highest relative abundance in stripping influent. These results are instructive to guide the development of 'divide and conquer' and would improve the treatment and management of refinery wastewater streams" |
