Journal ArticleDOI
Forward osmosis: Principles, applications, and recent developments
TL;DR: In this paper, the state-of-the-art of the physical principles and applications of forward osmosis as well as their strengths and limitations are presented, along with a review of the current state of the art.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of solution chemistry on the surface charge of polymeric reverse osmosis and nanofiltration membranes
TL;DR: In this paper, a streaming potential analyzer was used to investigate the effect of solution chemistry on the surface charge of four commercial reverse osmosis and nanofiltration membranes, and the curves of zeta potential versus solution pH for all membranes display a shape characteristic of amphoteric surfaces with acidic and basic functional groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
The forward osmosis membrane bioreactor: A low fouling alternative to MBR processes
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel osmotic membrane bioreactor (OsMBR) is presented, which utilizes a submerged forward osmosis (FO) membrane module inside a bioreactors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selection of inorganic-based draw solutions for forward osmosis applications
TL;DR: In this paper, a desktop screening process resulted in 14 draw solutions suitable for forward osmosis (FO) applications, which were then tested in the laboratory to evaluate water flux and reverse salt diffusion through the FO membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Power generation with pressure retarded osmosis: An experimental and theoretical investigation
TL;DR: In this paper, a pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) model was developed to predict water flux and power density under specific experimental conditions, relying on experimental determination of the membrane water permeability coefficient (A), the membrane salt permeability coefficients (B), and the solute resistivity (K).
