Abstract

In order to enhance the comprehensive experimental ability of undergraduate students in environmental engineering and embody the concept of environmental engineering education, an applied environmental engineering comprehensive experiment of treating oilfield wastewater containing polyacrylamide (PAM) using low temperature atmospheric plasma was designed in this paper. This experiment can combine the field practice of oilfield environmental protection with courses, experiment and analytical testing technology of environmental engineering undergraduate teaching, improve students' professional experimental skills, skills of analysis and problem solving ability of environmental engineering, and help students deepen their knowledge and understanding of relevant courses of environmental engineering. Furthermore using wastewater containing PAM as experimental material can improve students’ environmental awareness and help to put the environmental engineering ideas into oil recovery in the future.
