  • Method for recycling oilfield and other wastewater
    Patent number: 10266424
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to a process for treating waste water from mining. The process involves contacting the mining waste water with an emulsion of a nano scale compound comprising iron, magnesium, or both. Mixing results in a substantially foam-like layer at the surface of the mixture which may be further oxidized to form treated water.

  • Method for treatment of drill cuttings
    Patent number: 9828258
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to a process for treating drill cuttings. The process involves mixing the drill cuttings with an aqueous emulsion comprising one or more oil-liquid membranes surrounding a nano scale compound comprising iron, magnesium, or both. The weight ratio of emulsion to water is from about 1:150 to about 1:3000 and the volume ratio of water to drill cuttings is from about 40:60 to about 70:30. The treated drill cuttings can then be removed.
