Comparative evaluation of osmotically-driven cleaning methods for organic-inorganic fouling in pressure retarded osmosis (PRO)

Pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) is a promising technique of desalination techniques. However, one of the major problems is permeate flux decline by fouling. This study investigates the mitigation of organic and inorganic fouling in PRO by osmotically driven cleaning methods. This study comparatively...
