Evaluating the performance of a combined forward osmosis and membrane distillation system for wastewater treatment

摘要

Forward Osmosis (FO) is an osmotically driven process and Membrane Distillation (MD) is a thermally driven process, both having demonstrated many advantages over traditionally pressure-driven membrane processes like microtiItration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO).
