Forward Osmosis: Flat Sheet Membrane Engineering - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The high demand for clean water resources has generated substantial research interest in terms of sustainable and low energy water purification technologies such as Forward Osmosis (FO). Compared to other membrane based technologies, the FO process is less energy intensive. However, there are challenges that need solutions to enable the FO to compete with other technologies for desalination. Suitable draw solution and a proper membrane are required to overcome the FO process challenges. Enormous effort has been expended to find a new material and better membrane design in order to develop a novel FO membrane that can meet high performance demands in relation to water flux, salt rejection and mechanical strength. The objectives of this book are to understand the fundamentals of the FO in order to engineering a suitable flat sheet Thin Film Composite (TFC) membranes for the process.
