Exploring the feasibility of novel double-skinned forward osmosis membranes with higher flux and superior anti-fouling properties for sludge thickening

Lihua Zhao et al.

Summary: A novel double-skinned FO membrane was proposed to enhance anti-fouling performance and mitigate internal concentration polarization, showing higher flux when using draw solutions with high concentrations. The double-skinned FO membrane demonstrated superior anti-fouling properties and much higher flux than the single-skinned FO membrane during long-term sludge thickening process.

Application of Zwitterions in Forward Osmosis: A Short Review

Yu-Hsuan Chiao et al.

Summary: Forward osmosis (FO) is an important desalination method for producing potable water and treating different wastewater streams. Despite being environmentally friendly and energy-efficient, FO may suffer from four types of fouling that require appropriate cleaning measures for membrane performance recovery. Integration of zwitterionic moieties in FO membrane has shown promising results in enhancing antifouling properties and improving separation efficiency.
