The harmful effects arisen from the discharge of saline wastewater have become more
evident in recent years and therefore drawn much public concerns. Saline wastewater …

Forward osmosis (FO) has gained considerable interest as an attractive membrane-based
desalination technology due to its reversible fouling and potentially low costs. Thin-film …

Contamination and industrial development are among the reasons for water quality
deterioration beyond treatability by conventional processes. Unfortunately, conventional …

Membrane technology has emerged as a highly efficient strategy for alleviating water and
energy scarcity globally. As the key component, the membrane plays a fatal role in different …

Metal–organic framework (MOF)-based materials are promising candidates for a range of
separation applications. However, the fabrication of self-standing MOF-based thin films …

The forward osmosis-membrane distillation (FO-MD) hybrid process has shown great
promise in achieving zero liquid discharge in the textile industry, recovering valuable dye …

Compared to the inorganic nanofillers, an organic one might be more appropriate to control
the aggregation and interfacial microvoids between nanofiller and polymeric matrix for an …

Climate change, population growth, and increased industrial activities are exacerbating
freshwater scarcity and leading to increased interest in desalination of saline water. Brackish …

Recently, forward osmosis (FO) has attracted a great deal of attention in desalination and
wastewater treatment. Nevertheless, there are several critical challenges such as the need …

Forward osmosis (FO) can potentially treat textile wastewaters with less fouling than
pressure-driven membrane processes such as reverse osmosis and nanofiltration. However …
