Benson, JCaplan, IJacobs, RJohn Benson:received his BS degree in Mechanical Engineering and MS degree in Environmental Engineering from the University of Maryland. He is a registered Professional Engineer in the State of Maryland. He Joined the Naval Sufrace Warfare Center
Carderock Division Environmental Quality Department in 1990 as a project engineer and is now managing the non-oily wastewater (graywater and blackwater) project area. Mr. Ivan Caplan:graduated from Drexel University (Philadelphia
Pennsylvania) with a BS in Metallurgical Engineering and was awarded a MS degree from the Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore Maryland) in Mechanics and Materials Science. Mr. Caplan has spent most of his career at the Carderock Division Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and is currently the Head of the Wastewater Management Branch in the Carderock Division's Environmental Quality Department. Previously Mr. Caplan managed the US Navy's Applied Research Program in Ship & Submarine Materials Technology. In addition Mr. Caplan was manager of the US Navy's Titanium Technology Program Office and during his government career held several external Program Manager positions on at the Naval Sea Systems Command and another at the Air Force Office of Scientific Research.

In anticipation of more stringent environmental regulations, the increasing costs of waste disposal, and the need for naval combatants to operate unimpeded in littoral waters, the U.S. Navy has identified the need to develop technologies which are appropriate for the control and treatment of blackwater and graywater. This paper will describe the status of development efforts by the Carderock Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (CDNSWC) and its supporting contractors, under sponsorship of Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) and the Office of Naval Research. The challenge was to develop treatment systems that meet Navy shipboard requirements for affordability, compactness, low manning/maintenance, high reliability and safety, and EM, noise, vibration and shock. Membrane ultrafiltration based systems, incorporating aerobic biological pre-treatment and ultraviolet light post treatment disinfection, have ken developed to meet these requirements. Both external and in-tank membrane systems will be described in terms of performance, system operation and space and weight advantages.

Using soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy we were able to determine unambiguously the charge and spin states of the transition metal ions in stoichiometric YCu3Co4O12 and CaCu3Co4O12. The trivalent and low-spin nature of both the Cu and Co ions in YCu3Co4O12 makes this correlated system to be effectively a nonmagnetic band semiconductor. The substitution of Y by Ca produces formally tetravalent Co ions but the doped holes are primarily on the oxygen ligands. Concerning the spin degrees of freedom, the trivalent Co ions in YCu3Co4O12 remain low spin upon the Y-Ca substitution, very much unlike the La1−xSrxCoO3 system. The tetravalent Co ions in CaCu3Co4O12 are interestingly also in the low-spin state, which then explains the good electrical conductivity of CaCu3Co4O12 since charge exchange between neighboring Co3+ and Co4+ ions will not be hampered by the spin-blockade mechanism that otherwise would be in effect if the Co4+ and Co3+ spin quantum numbers were to differ by more than one-half. We infer that the stability of the Co low-spin state is related to the very short Co-O bond lengths.

In this study, cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) dispersion within polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) was investigated. PBAT/CNC nanocomposites with various CNC contents were prepared through solution casting as well as dilution of a solution casted masterbatch using a twin screw extruder. The efficiency of two different preparation approaches on CNC dispersion was assessed by transmission electron microscopic and rheological analysis. It was found that solution casted PBAT/CNC nanocomposites had a much better CNC dispersion compared to that of their melt processed counterparts. This was while the diluted melt processed cases also revealed a good level of CNC dispersion. As a result, CNC was able to form a percolation network within PBAT at CNC contents of around 2 and 4 wt% in the two approaches, respectively.
