A Review: Desalination by Forward Osmosis
TL;DR: 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.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

Organic fouling of forward osmosis membranes: Fouling reversibility and cleaning without chemical reagents
Baoxia Mi,Menachem Elimelech +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used alginate as a model organic foulant to examine forward osmosis (FO) membrane fouling and cleaning behavior with the ultimate goal of determining the underlying FO fouling/cleaning mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coupled effects of internal concentration polarization and fouling on flux behavior of forward osmosis membranes during humic acid filtration
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of ICP and fouling on forward osmosis (FO) flux behavior were systematically investigated and both theoretical model and experimental results demonstrated that the FO flux was highly nonlinear with respect to the apparent driving force (the concentration difference between the draw solution and the feed water).
