Pressure Retarded Osmosis and Forward Osmosis Membranes: Materials and Methods [PDF]

open access: yesPolymers, 2013
In the past four decades, membrane development has occurred based on the demand in pressure driven processes. However, in the last decade, the interest in osmotically driven processes, such as forward osmosis (FO) and pressure retarded osmosis (PRO), has increased.

Fouling distribution in forward osmosis membrane process

Journal of Environmental Sciences, 2014
Fouling behavior along the length of membrane module was systematically investigated by performing simple modeling and lab-scale experiments of forward osmosis (FO) membrane process. The flux distribution model developed in this study showed a good agreement with experimental results, validating the robustness of the model.

Direct Microscopic Observation of Forward Osmosis Membrane Fouling

Environmental Science & Technology, 2010
This study describes the application of a noninvasive direct microscopic observation method for characterizing fouling of a forward osmosis (FO) membrane. The effect of the draw solution concentration, membrane orientation, and feed spacer on FO fouling was systematically investigated in a cross-flow setup using latex particles as model foulant in the ...

Forward Osmosis with a Novel Thin-Film Inorganic Membrane

Environmental Science & Technology, 2013
Forward osmosis (FO) represents a new promising membrane technology for liquid separation driven by the osmotic pressure of aqueous solution. Organic polymeric FO membranes are subject to severe internal concentration polarization due to asymmetric membrane structure, and low stability due to inherent chemical composition. To address these limitations,

Forward Osmosis Membranes for Water Reclamation

Separation & Purification Reviews, 2015
This review addressed the fundamental principles, advantages and challenges of forward osmosis (FO) membrane processes. FO is receiving more and more research attractions because it can concurrently produce clean water with low energy input and generate hydraulic energy (pressure retarded osmosis).

Study of Forward Osmosis Membrane Bioreactor

Advanced Materials Research, 2014
A novel submerged forward osmosis membrane bioreactor (FOMBR) is presented in this study. The selection of optical draw solutions for forward osmosis (FO) applications was developed and the Na2SO4 solution was found to be the most appropriate draw solution among five draw solutions for FO applications.

Development of Hollow Fiber Forward Osmosis Membranes

2020
Forward Osmosis (FO) is an emerging technique used to purify water or to concentrate valuable stream. Unlike the conventional membrane processes, FO utilizes an applied osmotic gradient to transport water through a semi-permeable membrane. While most available FO membranes are based on spiral-wound geometries, many applications of FO actually prefer a ...

Forward Osmosis Membranes: Synthesis and Characterization

2015
In this chapter, we aim to (1) summarize the background and state-of-the-art technologies for forward osmosis (FO) membranes fabrication, (2) analyze the mass transport phenomena in FO membranes and (3) discuss strategies to properly design FO membranes. We will also highlight basic characterization methods for FO membranes. We will focus on asymmetric
