Synthesis and characterization of thin film nanocomposite forward osmosis membrane with hydrophilic nanocomposite support to reduce internal concentration polarization

Realizing that one of the most important challenges in the forward osmosis (FO) membrane is internal concentration polarization (ICP), thin film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes were prepared by incorporating different loadings of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (ranging from 0 to 0.90 wt%) into...
