Oil refineries consume a large amount of water, leading to the generation of significant quantities of wastewater containing a high percentage of organic pollutants. This wastewater is challenging to clean, regardless of the flow rate. In this study, the wastewater has been treated with nano-scale zero-valent iron oxide (FeO) in the presence of ultrasound. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and X-ray Diffractometers (XRD) have been used to investigate the features of the zero-valence nanostructures (FeO). The impact of initial pH and nano dose of zero-valent of FeO on the percentage reduction in Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) has been evaluated. These findings indicate that the ideal conditions for effective decomposition of effluent are a dose of 0.15 ppm and an initial pH of 5. The decomposition data conforms to the principles of kinetic first-order. These results are significant in the context of environmental engineering and petroleum refining, as they demonstrate the effectiveness of ultrasonic treatment combined with nano-scale zero-valent iron oxide (FeO) in treating effluent from petroleum refineries.
