Optimization of TFC-PES hollow fiber membranes for reverse osmosis (RO) and osmotically assisted reverse osmosis (OARO) applications

, 2021
The osmotically assisted reverse osmosis (OARO) has been recently proposed to increase the water recovery of the reverse osmosis (RO) process, in which RO has reached its limitations. Strong membranes are essential for both OARO and RO processes.
