I’m always interested to hear about how folks are dealing with environmental problems. I especially am gratified when students from my own University are involved.
Four graduate students from MSU are part of a project that has received funding from the National Science Foundation to develop membrane water purifying systems around the world.
They’ll be working with Duke University in the US, and universities in Russia, Ukraine and France on technology that develops membranes for purifying water.
“Membrane-based technologies selectively remove things such as chemicals and particles from water,” said [Tom] Voice, professor of civil and environmental engineering. “They are analogous to filters except they remove things that are smaller and separate on the basis of chemistry and size. Our project is looking at developing new types of membranes and membrane systems that perform better in water treatment applications.”

The MSU students will work on membranes that remove larger molecules in the water.
