Novel organic draw solution in forward osmosis process for fertigation: performance evaluation and flux prediction

Ghada Al Bazedi et al.

Summary: Fertilizer-drawn forward osmosis (FDFO) using microalgae Spirulina platensis as an organic fertilizer draw solution (DS) was investigated for its separation performance of brackish water. The results showed that using Spirulina as a draw solution is a promising solution for fertigation purposes, achieving concentration of Na+ and Cl- while diluting the Spirulina. The highest flux obtained varied for different feed solution concentrations.

Application of molasses as draw solution in forward osmosis desalination for fertigation purposes

Bizhan Bagheri et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the performance of molasses DS in a commercial FO membrane, finding that the relationship between molasses concentration and water flux is non-linear. Increasing feed solution and draw solution velocities slightly improved water flux. Molasses showed different effects on water flux under different feed solutions and has potential for fertigation applications.

Impact of Forward Osmosis Operating Pressure on Deformation, Efficiency and Concentration Polarisation with Novel Links to CFD

Alexander J. Charlton et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of applying transmembrane pressure (TMP) on FO membrane deformation and module performance, finding that increasing shear strain by over 62% can enhance membrane flux performance. The study suggests that numerical approaches can optimize FO module designs by assessing draw-spacers effects on pressure drop and CP.

An experimental study on draw solution performance in fertilizer drawn forward osmosis under Water Energy Food Nexus framework in Egypt

Ghada Amin et al.

Summary: The study shows that the hydroponic nutrient mixture as a draw solution performs better than its individual macro-components. Mixing nutrients increases osmotic pressure and enhances the driving force for fresh water permeation. Therefore, it can be concluded that mixed nutrients have better performance than single fertilizers.
