Novel nanocomposite forward osmosis membranes for treating highly saline and oily wastewater with low fouling, high water flux and high selectivity

This study focuses on the design and synthesis of a new nanocomposite forward osmosis (FO) membrane that is able to separate highly saline and oily wastewater with low fouling, high water flux and high selectivity, in order to battle against global freshwater scarcity. A new design rationale of FO m...
