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 ...
Magnetic nanoparticles draw solution for forward osmosis: Current status and future challenges in wastewater treatment
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Forward osmosis is considered as the least energy intensive membrane process since it operates based on the osmotic pressure gradient. However, it is still considered as immature technology mainly due to the elevated cost ...
A hybrid nf-fo-ro process for the supply of irrigation water from treated wastewater: Simulation study
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
Municipal treated wastewater could be considered as a water source for food crop irrigation purposes. Enhancing the quality of treated wastewater to meet irrigation standards has become a necessary practice. Nanofiltration ...
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) ...
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 ...
