TLDR
In this paper, the influence of this fabric on osmotic permeation flux was examined, mostly with a Toray CA-3000 membrane from which, with care, it was possible to remove the support fabric.About:

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
Influence of concentrative and dilutive internal concentration polarization on flux behavior in forward osmosis
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of both concentrative and dilutive internal concentration polarization on permeate water flux through a commercially available forward osmosis membrane was investigated and a flux model that accounts for the presence of both internal and external concentration polarization for the two possible membrane orientations involving the feed and draw solutions was presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent developments in forward osmosis : opportunities and challenges.
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the recent developments in forward osmosis (FO) focusing on the opportunities and challenges is presented, as well as a clear outline for FO-concerned researchers.

High Performance Thin-Film Composite Forward Osmosis Membrane
TL;DR: The development of a high performance thin-film composite membrane for forward osmosis applications with high water flux was directly related to the thickness, porosity, tortuosity, and pore structure of the polysulfone support layer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Desalination by ammonia–carbon dioxide forward osmosis: Influence of draw and feed solution concentrations on process performance
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a commercially available forward direct osmosis (FO) membrane and found that the experimental water fluxes were far lower than those anticipated based on available bulk osmotic pressure difference and membrane pure water permeability data.

Membranes for power generation by pressure-retarded osmosis
TL;DR: In this paper, a model has been developed for obtaining the projected performance of membranes in pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) from direct and reverse Osmosis measurements, showing that concentration polarization within the porous substrate of the membrane markedly lowers the water flux under PRO conditions.
