The management of highly saline wastewater released from hydraulic fracturing-also known as fracking-a hydrocarbon releasing process used in the rapidly growing shale gas industry, is a serious challenge for industry and regulators due to its adverse effects on public health and to the environment in general. As well, fracking wastewater also contains particularly concerning levels of suspended solids, mainly comprised of sand and oil. Pre-treatment of fracking wastewater through microfiltration (MF) can effectively remove these suspended solids and oily materials. Forward osmosis (FO), an emerging membrane-based technology, is a feasible method for the treatment of fracking wastewater. For the FO process to be successful, an effectively engineered draw solution, a robust FO membrane, and an efficient pre-treatment, such as MF are required. FO is particularly effective when combined with membrane distillation (MD) for the recycling of the FO draw solutions. Therefore, the goals of this research project were to a) identify an effective draw solution for FO and b) fabricate two types of advanced membrane materials: MF membranes with high water flux, high rejection, and antifouling properties, and a FO membrane for recycling fracking wastewater with high water flux, high rejection, and antifouling properties. In this research, a comprehensive study was conducted to identify novel, yet effective, organic draw solutions for the treatment of fracking wastewater by FO. A novel high water-flux polyvinyl acetate-coated electrospun nylon 6/silica (SiO2) composite MF membrane was fabricated and its performance was tested in regard to water flux, oil rejection, and antifouling properties. In the next stage of this research, a new FO membrane material with high water-flux with high rejection and antifouling properties was fabricated and characterized. Finally, real fracking wastewater was treated using MF and then FO-combined with MD as a downstream separator-using the fabricated membranes. In the pre-treatment stage, 9̃8.5% turbidity and 5̃2% of total organic carbon (TOC) were removed from the fracking wastewater via the MF process. Finally, treated water with TDS 23-44 mg/L was obtained from the pre-treated wastewater via the combined FO/MD process. This produced water can effectively be reused for hydraulic fracking.

Water is a vital element for life and the environment. Water pollution has been documented as a contributor to a wide range of health problems. In recent years, the water quality levels have suffered great deterioration because of rapid social and economic development and because it is used to “dump” a wide range of pollutants.This book entitled “Membranes for Water and Wastewater Treatment” contains featured research papers dealing with recent developments and advances in all aspects related to membranes for water and wastewater treatment: membrane processes, combined processes (including one membrane step), modified membranes, new materials, and the possibility to reduce fouling and to improve the efficiency of enhanced processes. The papers compiled in this Special Issue can be read as a response to the current needs and challenges in membrane development for water and wastewater treatment.Half of the research articles correspond to concrete and practical applications of the use of membrane processes in different fields of the industry, with the aim of treating and conditioning water and wastewater. The studies reveal the treatment of industrial streams, mining, recycled paper industry, olive mill, urban wastewater, etc. Another important percentage of studies are related to membrane modification processes, with the aim of obtaining new materials with better performance in the separation processes, thus describing the use of membranes modified with chitosan, nanoparticles, and other organic compounds. This field also includes studies related to fouling and its modeling.

"The proposed book mainly sorts out emerging and burning issues faced day to day by municipal and industrial wastewater treatments. It also provides a comprehensive view of recent advents of hybrid treatment technologies in wastewater treatment, addresses the current limitations and challenges of applying these tools in wastewater treatment systems. This book gives an insight about recent developments in membrane technology for wastewater treatment. Industrial wastewater contains a large variety of compounds, such as heavy metals, salts and nutrients, which makes its treatment challenging. Thus, the use of conventional water treatment methods is not always effective. In this sense, membrane-based hybrid processes have emerged as a promising technology to treat complex industrial wastewater. The present book analyses and discusses the potential of membrane-based hybrid processes for the treatment of complex industrial wastewater along with the recovery of valuable compounds and water reutilization. In addition, recent and future trends in membrane technology are highlighted. Features: Discusses the properties, mechanisms, advantages, limitations and promising solutions of different types of membrane technologies Addresses the optimization of process parameters Describes the performance of different membranes Presents the potential of Nanotechnology to improve the treatment efficiency of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) Covers the application of membrane and membrane-based hybrid treatment technologies for wastewater treatment"--

This book presents a detailed discussion of the fundamentals and practical applications of membrane technology enhancement in a range of industrial processes, energy recovery, and resource recycling. To date, most books on the applications of membrane technology have mainly focused on gas pollution removal or industrial wastewater treatment. In contrast, the enhancement of various membrane processes in the areas of energy and the environment has remained largely overlooked. This book highlights recent works and industrial products using membrane technology, while also discussing experiments and modeling studies on the membrane enhancement process.

This book provides a balanced discussion about the wastewater generated by hydraulic fracturing operations, and how to manage it. It includes an in-depth discussion of the hydraulic fracturing process, the resulting water cycle, and the potential risks to groundwater, soil, and air. The “fracking” process involves numerous chemicals that could potentially harm human health and the environment, especially if they enter and contaminate drinking water supplies. Treatment, reuse, and disposal options are the focus, and several case studies will be presented. The book also discusses the issues of the large amounts of water required for drilling operations, the impacts on water-sensitive regions.
