Life cycle assessment of drinking water: comparing conventional water treatment, reverse osmosis and mineral water in glass and plastic bottles [PDF]
, 2016 This study evaluated the environmental impacts caused by drinking water consumption in Barcelona (Spain) using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology. Five different scenarios were compared: 1) tap water from conventional drinking water treatment; 2)

On the potential of forward osmosis to energetically outperform reverse osmosis desalination [PDF]
, 2014 We provide a comparison of the theoretical and actual energy requirements of forward osmosis and reverse osmosis seawater desalination. We argue that reverse osmosis is significantly more energy efficient and that forward osmosis research efforts would ...

Exploring the differences between forward osmosis and reverse osmosis fouling [PDF]
, 2018 A comparison of alginate fouling in forward osmosis (FO) with that in reverse osmosis (RO) was made. A key experimental finding, corroborated by membrane autopsies, was that FO is essentially more prone to fouling than RO, which is opposite to a common ...

Reverse osmosis and forward osmosis fouling: a comparison [PDF]
Discover Chemical Engineering, 2021 AbstractOur previously reported exploration (Journal of Membrane Science 565 (2018) 241–253) on the differences between fouling in reverse osmosis (RO) and forward osmosis (FO), used alginate as a foulant with initial conditions that ensured that the starting fluxes were the same.

The benefits of hybridising electrodialysis with reverse osmosis [PDF]
, 2014 A cost analysis reveals that hybridisation of electrodialysis with reverse osmosis is only justified if the cost of water from the reverse osmosis unit is less than 40% of that from a stand-alone electrodialysis system.

Aminophosphonates in Nanofiltration and Reverse Osmosis Permeates [PDF]
Membranes, 2021 Aminophosphonates such as aminotris(methylenephosphonic acid) (ATMP) are common constituents of antiscalants. In nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) processes, ATMP prevents inorganic scaling leading to more stable membrane performance. So far, little attention has been paid to the possible permeation of aminophosphonates through NF and RO ...

Reverse Osmosis Membrane Chlorine Effects Reduction Using Kinetic Degradation Fluxion Media [PDF]
, 2017 Nowadays reverse osmosis is one of the most used technologies for water treatment and it is a favored method for potable water production from seawater. However, membrane fouling is a critical problem associated with reverse osmosis (RO) plants, since it

On the asymptotic flux of ultrapermeable seawater reverse osmosis membranes due to concentration polarisation [PDF]
, 2016 Just as thermodynamic considerations impose a finite limit on the energy requirements of reverse osmosis, concentration polarisation imposes a finite limit on flux, or equivalently, on system size.

Fluidized beds as turbulence promoters in the concentration of food liquids by reverse osmosis [PDF]
, 1980 Fluidized beds offer a potential improvement of reverse osmosis processes for food liquids, less fouling of the membrane, and reduced energy consumption.
