Membranes are predominantly polymer-based and despite steady advances in polymeric materials, they continue to suffer from operational problems including biofouling and breakages. This work addresses these two disparate problems by developing novel CNT-polymer nanocomposite materials that contain variously functionalized carbon nanotubes (fCNTs) in low quantities (<0.5 wt\% ). Several strategies have been employed to achieve highly functional CNT-polymer nanocomposite membranes including blend mixing, ionic charge association, and covalent cross-linking with monomer and oligomer constituents. These CNT-polymer nanocomposite membranes were compared to traditional polymer membranes across various properties including increased Young{\textquoteright}s Modulus, changes in surface hydrophilicity, fine control over molecular weight cut-off and flux, and surface electrical conductivity. Membranes with high surface electrical conductivity were further tested for their anti-biofouling properties. Finally, CNT stability and polymer compatibility were evaluated throughout membrane manufacture, use, and cleaning. The incorporation of CNTs mixed in bulk phase and linked through ionic associations in polymer matrices showed significant (50\%) increases in Young{\textquoteright}s modulus for certain CNT functionalizations and derivatization percent. Membranes formed with high surface electrical conductivity demonstrated almost complete resistance to biofouling (> 95\%) in long-term bacterially challenged experiments. CNTs and polymer mixtures that lacked covalent or ionic bonds were susceptible to significant (up to 10\%) loss of CNTs during membrane non-solvent gelation and aggressive chemical cleaning treatment. Functionalized carbon nanotubes endow polymer membranes with their unique strength and electrically conductive properties. These added properties were demonstrated to greatly improve membrane operational efficiency and membrane longevity. CNT-polymer nanocomposite membranes offer low-energy, high-efficiency, and long-lifetime alternatives to traditional polymer membranes. With further advances in polymeric nanomaterials, membrane technology has the potential for wide applicability across many fields outside of water filtration and desalination.}, isbn = {9781303789830}, url = {http://ezproxy.msu.edu/login?url=http://search.proquest.com/docview/1518539546?accountid=12598http://magic.msu.edu:4550/resserv?genre=dissertations+\%26+theses\&issn=\&title=Do+Membranes+Dream+of+Electric+Tubes\%3F+Advanced+Membranes+Using+Carbon+Nanotube+-+P}, author = {de Lannoy, C.-F.} } @article {313, title = {Efficient hydrocyclone for liquid-liquid separation (Invention disclosure filed on July 9, 2014)}, year = {2014}, note = {Filed on July 9, 2014}, author = {Motin, A and B{\'e}nard, A. and Tarabara, V.

The authors describe (1) viruses of concern and potential human diseases; (2) waterborne outbreaks related to viruses; (3) the sources, reservoirs, and fate of viruses in the environment; (4) the use of viruses as microbial source tracking tools; (5) virus survival and virus transport; (6) virus concentration and detection methods; (7) the fate of viruses in water treatment; (8) the removal of viruses in full-scale, bench, and pilot-scale conventional and membrane bioreactor (MBR) wastewater systems; and (9) other issues related to viruses in water systems such as the role of bacterial viruses (phages) and viral risk assessment. Occurrence of human pathogenic viruses in environmental waters (i.e., surface waters, groundwater, drinking water, recreational water, and wastewater) raises concerns regarding the possibility of human exposure and waterborne infections. Commonly observed waterborne viruses include adenoviruses, enteroviruses, noroviruses, and rotaviruses. Viruses are the smallest of all microorganisms, and their size facilitates transport in environmental media. In addition, viruses have very low die-off rates and low infectivity doses, increasing concern over outbreaks of disease related to waterborne or sludge-related virus exposures. Overall, virus presence in water and wastewater is a difficult problem for environmental engineers because of prevalence, infectivity, and resistance of viruses to disinfection. Environmental engineers should be aware that even state-of-the-art wastewater treatment plants may not be able to eliminate viruses from wastewater, and viruses potentially escaping from drinking water treatment plants because of technical and management deficiencies may lead to human exposure and disease. The knowledge and tools summarized in this paper provide basic information needed to make decisions for efficient water and wastewater management and reduction of risk of human exposure.}, isbn = {0733-9372}, doi = {10.1061/(ASCE)EE.1943-7870.0000827}, author = {Xagoraraki, I. and Yin, Z. and Svambayev, Z.} } @conference {305, title = {Global transport of viruses via ships{\textquoteright} ballast water revealed through metagenomics}, booktitle = {International Symposium on Microbial Ecology}, year = {2014}, month = {August 24-29}, address = {Seoul, South Korea}, author = {Kim, Y.

To increase virus recovery, an ultrafiltration membrane is usually {\textquotedblleft}blocked{\textquotedblright} with a proteinaceous solution or a chemical dispersant. This proof-of-concept study explores a novel approach using controlled and rapid (<1 h) layer-by-layer adsorption of polyelectrolytes to form an anti-adhesive, sacrificial layer on the membrane surface. Compared to membranes blocked with calf serum (CS), membranes coated with polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) films show significantly higher pre-elution recoveries of P22 bacteriophage from both deionized water (80\% versus 27\% recovery) and from MBR effluent (47\% versus 35\% recovery) under high crossflow conditions. Calculations of virus{\textendash}membrane interaction energies confirm that the higher recoveries with PEM-coated membranes are due to their higher charge and hydrophilicity relative to CS-blocked membranes. The high pre-elution recovery from simple water matrices with PEM-coated membranes might eliminate the need for elution and backflushing steps, thus reducing both the time required for pathogen concentration and the volume of the final sample. The proposed methodology can be used to guide the rational design of membrane surfaces with controllable adhesion properties with respect to a broad range of viruses and other pathogens.}, isbn = {0376-7388}, doi = {10.1016/j.memsci.2014.06.032}, url = {http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0376738814004839}, author = {Pasco, Elodie V. and Shi, Hang and Xagoraraki, Irene and Hashsham, Syed A. and Parent, Kristin N. and Bruening, Merlin L. and Tarabara, Volodymyr V.} } @conference {294, title = {Produced water treatment using crossflow filtration hydrocyclone based on ceramic membranes}, booktitle = {21st International Petroleum Environmental Conference (IPEC)}, year = {2014}, month = {10/2014}, address = {Houston, TX, USA}, author = {Gorobets, A.

This paper explores the possibility of using alternative water sources and their impact on NORM levels through blending acid mine drainage (AMD) effluent with recycled hydraulic fracturing flowback fluids (HFFFs). We conducted a series of laboratory experiments in which the chemistry and NORM of different mix proportions of AMD and HFFF were examined after reacting for 48 h.

The results imply that blending AMD and HFFF could be an effective management practice for both remediation of the high NORM in the Marcellus HFFF wastewater and beneficial utilization of AMD that is currently contaminating waterways in northeastern U.S.A.}, isbn = {0013-936X; 1520-5851}, doi = {10.1021/es403852h}, author = {Kondash, A.

Strain A1(T) showed good ability to degrade ammonia and grew well on media amended with methanol and ammonia. Strain A1(T) grew with 0-11 \% (w/v) NaCl, at 20-42 {\textdegree}C, but not <15 or >45 {\textdegree}C and at pH 6-10 (optimum pH 8.0-9.0). The isolate was catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. The DNA G+C content was 70.7 mol\%. A comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain A1(T) formed a distinct phyletic lineage in the genus Brevibacterium and showed high sequence similarity with Brevibacterium casei NCDO 2048(T) (96.9 \%), Brevibacterium celere KMM 3637(T) (96.9 \%) and Brevibacterium sanguinis CF63(T) (96.4 \%). DNA-DNA hybridization revealed <43 \% DNA-DNA relatedness between the isolate and its closest phylogenetic relatives. The affiliation of strain A1(T) with the genus Brevibacterium was supported by the chemotaxonomic data: predominant quinone menaquinone MK-7(H2); polar lipid profile containing diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and an unidentified glycolipid; characteristic cell-wall diamino acid meso-diaminopimelic acid; whole-cell sugars galactose, xylose and ribose; absence of mycolic acids; and major fatty acids iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0.

This dissertation demonstrates three potential applications of polymeric films to enhance the functionality of membranes for water production and wastewater remediation, which are becoming increasingly important for combatting water scarcity. Layer-by-layer adsorption of polyelectrolytes and citrate-stabilized nanoparticles creates a catalytically active film for wet-air oxidation of pollutants in water. Incorporation of these catalytic films in membranes allows for improved oxygen availability at the catalyst surface in a three phase reaction. In this work, the use of tubular catalytic membranes with small inner diameters (< 1 mm) reduces diffusion limitations relative to similar systems based on larger ceramic membranes. The reduction in the diffusion distance required for aqueous pollutants to reach the catalyst surface leads to a 5- to 10-fold increase in the single-pass pollutant oxidation compared to previous work with ceramic membranes. Deposition of thin, rough polypropylene (PP) coatings rapidly produces superhydrophobic surfaces. Remarkably, addition of such a PP coating to a poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVDF) membrane increases the advancing water contact angle from 124{\textdegree} to 155{\textdegree}. These superhydrophobic membranes are well suited for membrane distillation (MD), where a nonwetted membrane allows water vapor to transfer from a warm feed solution to a chilled permeate phase. During MD with highly fouling humic acid, membranes coated with porous PP show three-fold higher salt rejections than unmodified PVDF membranes. Moreover, the PP-coated membranes resist pore wetting for at least 20 hours during MD of a solution containing dairy whey. In contrast, bare PVDF membranes show pore wetting within 3.5 h of MD with dairy why solutions. Finally, adsorption of charged polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) on membranes increases their hydrophilicity. This increase in hydrophilicity decreases fouling when filtering aqueous solutions with hydrophobic foulants, such as oil and grease. During cross-flow microfiltration of a 0.2\% hexadecane-in-water emulsion, flux declines 80\% after two hours for a PEM-modified membrane compared to a >90\% flux decrease for an untreated membrane. Fouling resistance should be especially high if the foulant and the polyelectrolyte coating have the same charge. Exploiting electrostatic repulsions, the addition of anionic surfactants to oil emulsions causes a nearly two-fold increase in oil droplet rejection by anionically modified membranes.}, isbn = {9781303076299}, url = {http://ezproxy.msu.edu/login?url=http://search.proquest.com/docview/1362255371?accountid=12598http://magic.msu.edu:4550/resserv?genre=dissertations+\%26+theses\&issn=\&title=Membrane+coatings+for+catalytic+wet-air+oxidation\%2C+membrane+distillation\%2C+and+oi}, author = {Hogg, Seth R.} } @conference {333, title = {Membrane processes and technologies for a sustainable future: Interdisciplinary research and education in water quality engineering (Presentation)}, booktitle = {MSU Water Research Forum}, year = {2013}, month = {April 26}, address = {East Lansing, MI, USA}, author = {Tarabara, V.

The degree to which the CNTs were retained within the membrane during membrane production, operation and cleaning was examined as a function of the extent of CNT carboxylation. The effects of CNTs on polymeric membranes {\textendash} increases in tensile strength, changes in surface hydrophilicity, and changes in membrane permeability {\textendash} were evaluated as a function of CNT carboxylation, which was found to be coupled to CNT retention within the membrane. It was found that CNTs functionalized to a higher degree form more homogeneous polymer solutions, which lead to greater improvements in the aforementioned membrane characteristics. However, CNTs functionalized to a higher degree were also found to more-readily leave the membrane during immersion precipitation and membrane cleaning. Therefore, a balance was discovered between the benefits associated with increased dispersibility and hydrophilicity, and the disadvantages associated with decreased retention, increased leaching, and decreased strength of CNTs with greater carboxylation.}, isbn = {0376-7388}, doi = {10.1016/j.memsci.2013.07.023}, author = {de Lannoy, C.-F. and Soyer, E. and Wiesner, M.
