Recent developments in forward osmosis membranes using carbon-based nanomaterials
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article Review)
Contamination and industrial development are among the reasons for water quality deterioration beyond treatability by conventional processes. Unfortunately, conventional water and wastewater treatment technologies are not ...
Thermo-economic assessment of forward osmosis as pretreatment to boost the performance and sustainability of multi-effect distillation for seawater desalination
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
This work presents the thermodynamic and techno-economic assessment of a forward osmosis – multi-effect distillation (FO-MED) system able to improve the thermal performance of the MED seawater desalination process and ...
Brine reject dilution with treated wastewater for indirect desalination
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
The forward osmosis (FO) process was suggested as a pretreatment to a multi-stage flashing (MSF) plant to reduce the environmental impact of brine discharge and the chemicals used. Yet, there is no study investigating the ...
Organic fouling in forward osmosis: A comprehensive review
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article Review)
Organic fouling in the forward osmosis process is complex and influenced by different parameters in the forward osmosis such as type of feed and draw solution, operating conditions, and type of membrane. In this article, ...
Optimization of magnetic nanoparticles draw solution for high water flux in forward osmosis
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
In this study, bare iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using a co-precipitation method and used as a draw solute in forward osmosis. The synthesis conditions of the nanoparticles were optimized using the Box-Behnken ...
Modeling and sensitivity analysis of the forward osmosis process to predict membrane flux using a novel combination of neural network and response surface methodology techniques
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
The forward osmosis (FO) process is an emerging technology that has been considered as an alternative to desalination due to its low energy consumption and less severe reversible fouling. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) ...
Developing sustainable draw solute for forward osmosis process using poly(amidoamine) dendrimer coated magnetic nanoparticles
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2023 , Article)
Forward osmosis is the least energy intensive water treatment membrane process, however, designing a sustainable draw solute is still a critical research necessity. In this work, we developed Poly(amidoamine) dendrimer ...
Forward osmosis feasibility and potential future application for desalination
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Book chapter)
Forward Osmosis has been intensively investigated for seawater desalination in the past decade. However, the application of technology is still limited apart from a number of pilot and small commercial plants. Initially, ...
A review of membrane-based dewatering technology for the concentration of liquid foods
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2023 , Article)
The imperative to establish environmentally friendly and sustainable food processing techniques has compelled the food industry to explore alternative approaches that uphold food quality, ensure nutritional integrity, and ...
