Factors Affecting the Performance of Membrane Osmotic Processes for Bioenergy Development
Forward osmosis (FO) and pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) have gained attention recently as potential processes to solve water and energy scarcity problems with advantages over pressure-driven membrane processes. These processes can be designed to produce

Concentration Polarization in an Ultrafiltering Capillary
Concentration polarization, the accumulation of retained solute next to an ultrafiltering membrane, elevates osmotic pressure above that which would exist in the absence of polarization. For ultrafiltration in a cylindrical tube, use of the radially averaged solute concentration results in an underestimate of osmotic pressure, yielding an effective ...

Numerical simulation of colloidal dispersion filtration: description of critical flux and comparison with experimental results [PDF]
During filtration via membrane processes, colloids accumulate at the porous surface leading to fouling phenomena. In this study, a rigorous simulation of momentum and mass transfer using CFD modelling has been developed to describe such an accumulation ...
