Abstract: This poster was presented by Ollie Donald (ORISE) at the Goldschmidt conference, Aug 18-23, 2024. The poster describes our work related to extracting and characterizing organic compounds in produced water from the Marcellus shale region. A new subsurface transformation product, a chlorinated linear alkyl ethoxylate, was identified, indicating that surfactants commonly used in hydraulic fracturing can react to form potentially hazardous pollutants. This work is intended to enable improved decision-making regarding produced water treatment and reuse.
