In situ visualization of organic fouling and cleaning mechanisms in reverse osmosis and forward osmosis [PDF]
, 2016 Fouling models rely on knowledge of foulant accumulation and removal mechanisms. In this study, a fouling visualization apparatus is developed to elucidate centimeter-scale mechanisms of organic fouling and cleaning in reverse osmosis (RO) and forward ...

Polyelectrolytes-promoted Forward Osmosis Processes
Procedia Engineering, 2012 AbstractThe development of the forward osmosis (FO) process has been constrained by the slow development of appropriate draw solutions. Two significant concerns related to draw solutions are the draw solute leakage and intensive-energy requirement in recycling draw solutes after the FO process.

The forward osmosis and desalination
Desalination and Water Treatment, 2016 Forward osmosis (FO) has emerged as a method for desalting saline water and power production. It utilizes a chemical potential difference, or a salinity gradient to permeate fresh water through membranes. This paper investigates the feasibility of using the FO process for seawater (SW) desalination in terms of consumed energy, capital costs, water ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Polymer‐based drug delivery systems can effectively overcome the limitations of free drugs in terms of solubility, stability, and plasma half‐life, yet their development has traditionally relied on time‐consuming trial‐and‐error approaches. This review highlights recent advances in applying molecular simulation to the design of polymer‐based drug ...

Forward Osmosis for Sustainable Water Treatment
, 2016 Forward osmosis (FO) as an emerging technology has been researched extensively over the past few decades for water treatment and other applications. In FO, the water in the feed solution (at low osmotic pressure) spontaneously flows through a semipermeable membrane to the draw solution (at high osmotic pressure) under the osmotic pressure difference ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Dissolvable microneedle (MN) device containing Bacillus paralicheniformis. The polymeric matrix encapsulates and protects the bacteria, preserving their viability while enabling in situ production and release of γ‐polyglutamic acid. The bacteria are delivered into the skin via 500 µm‐long microneedles, and remain detectable on the skin 24 h post ...
