The availability of fresh water for power plant makeup and cooling continues to decline. In addition, environmental regulators are placing tighter limitations on the methods by which water is obtained and discharged for and from industrial processes. One example is the emerging restrictions on once-through cooling in the U.S. This paper examines state-of-the art technology for producing plant makeup water, and it also looks at techniques for recovering significant portions of wastewater streams such as cooling tower blowdown. Technologies that will be reviewed include makeup water pretreatment, reverse osmosis, ion exchange, electrodeionization, and high-pH reverse osmosis for wastewater recovery.

Carbon dioxide is typically considered to be a byproduct of various industrial processes that should not be released into the environment due to its nature as a harmful greenhouse gas. One of the more promising ways to dispose of it in an economical and environmentally friendly way is by using it as a raw material in electrochemical synthesis reactors. An important part of such reactors is an ion exchange membrane. In this study the influence of ZrO2 content in SPEEK – ZrO2 composite membranes on rate of osmosis trough them was investigated, with the goal of evaluating ZrO2 as an additive for making ion exchange membranes with fine-tuned osmotic permeability.

Those samples which swell rapidly when exposed to water are, at best, difficult to section for transmission electron microscopy. Some materials literally burst out of the embedding block with the first pass by the knife, and even the most rapid cutting cycle produces sections of limited value. Many ion exchange resins swell in water; some undergo irreversible structural changes when dried. We developed our embedding procedure to handle this type of sample, but it should be applicable to many materials that present similar sectioning difficulties.The purpose of our embedding procedure is to build up a cross-linking network throughout the sample, while it is in a water swollen state. Our procedure was suggested to us by the work of Rosenberg, where he mentioned the formation of a tridimensional structure by the polymerization of the GMA biproduct, triglycol dimethacrylate.
