Influences of Combined Organic Fouling and Inorganic Scaling on Flux and Fouling Behaviors in Forward Osmosis

Influences of Combined Organic Fouling and Inorganic Scaling on Flux and Fouling Behaviors in Forward Osmosis

This study investigated the influence of combined organic fouling and inorganic scaling on the flux and fouling behaviors of thin-film composite (TFC) forward osmosis (FO) membranes. Two organic macromolecules, namely, bovine serum albumin (BSA) and sodium alginate (SA), and gypsum (GS), as an inorg...
