Combined influence of temperature and flow rate of feeds on the performance of forward osmosis
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
The effect of the membrane orientation, feeds flow rate, feeds temperature, and combining effect of both temperature and flow rate on the membrane flux was investigated in order to enhance the performance of forward osmosis ...
Modeling and simulation of fertilizer drawn forward osmosis process using Aspen Plus-MATLAB model
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
Although experimental studies on the impact of feed (FS) and draw solutions (DS) on the forward osmosis (FO) applications are reported in literature, systematic mathematical modeling considering the dynamic change in ...
Effect of membrane fouling on fertilizer-drawn forward osmosis desalination performance
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Fertilizer-drawn forward osmosis (FDFO) has garnered immense attention for its application in the agricultural field and its potential to reuse wastewater sustainably. Membrane fouling, however, remains to be a challenge ...
Osmotic pressure estimation using the Pitzer equation for forward osmosis modelling
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2020 , Article)
Forward osmosis (FO) has received widespread recognition in the past decade due to its potential low energy production of water. This study presents a new model analysis for predicting the water flux in FO systems when ...
A hybrid electro-coagulation/forward osmosis system for treatment of produced water
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Oil and gas exploration produce large volumes highly contaminated produced water (PW) which exhibits a major environmental challenge. This work investigates the application of a novel hybrid system by combining electro-coagulation ...
Influence of draw solution type and properties on the performance of forward osmosis process: Energy consumption and sustainable water reuse
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Single and multi-component fertilizers were used as a draw solution (DS) in forward osmosis (FO) to produce high-quality water from synthetic and seawater solution, eliminating the need for DS regeneration and reducing the ...
A hybrid forward osmosis/reverse osmosis process for the supply of fertilizing solution from treated wastewater
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
This work investigates the application of a hybrid system that combines forward osmosis (FO) and reverse osmosis (RO) processes for the supply of a fertilizing solution that could be used directly for irrigation purposes. ...
Mathematical modeling assisted investigation of forward osmosis as pretreatment for microbial desalination cells to achieve continuous water desalination and wastewater treatment
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Coupling forward osmosis (FO) with microbial desalination cells (MDCs) can lead to some synergistic benefits, i.e. simultaneous water recovery, desalination and removal of COD (chemical oxygen demand). Herein, an FO-MDC ...
Understanding electricity generation in osmotic microbial fuel cells through integrated experimental investigation and mathematical modeling
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
(Graph Presented). Osmotic microbial fuel cells (OsMFCs) are a new type of MFCs with integrating forward osmosis (FO). However, it is not well understood why electricity generation is improved in OsMFCs compared to regular ...
Enhancing desalination and wastewater treatment by coupling microbial desalination cells with forward osmosis
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Both microbial desalination cells (MDCs) and forwards osmosis (FO) are emerging technologies for energy-efficient water/wastewater treatment. However, incomplete treatment/desalination in both technologies creates challenges ...
