TLDR
In this paper, the authors have discussed the usage of different types of membranes for FO desalination application and their performances enhancement by suitable modification has been discussed, as well as a significant amount of work has been carried out to produce high-performance FO membrane for Desalination.Abstract:
Rapid population growth increases the demand for freshwater. Membrane technology is playing a dynamic role in the production of clean water from seawater and wastewater. The desalination of seawater using forward osmosis (FO) is an emerging technology to produce freshwater, as it is energy efficient than the conventional processes. In recent days, a significant amount of work has been carried out to produce high-performance FO membrane for desalination. In this chapter, usage of different types of membranes for FO desalination application and their performances enhancement by suitable modification has been discussed.read more
