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.
696 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the energy efficiency of the forward osmosis (FO) process is analyzed and the potential use of low-cost energy sources is highlighted, emphasizing the importance of the structural parameter, reverse solute flux selectivity, and the constraints imposed by the permeability selectivity tradeoff.
686 citations
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).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the fouling behavior of forward osmosis and reverse osmotic (RO) systems, and showed that the structure of the layers of FO and RO fouling layers is quite different.

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.
