The potential of thin film nanocomposite membrane in reducing organic fouling in forward osmosis process by Emadzadeh, D., Lau, Woei Jye, Matsuura, T., Hilal, N., Ismail, A. F.

“…The TFN membrane always showed much higher FO water flux than the typical thin film composite TFC membrane prepared from the pristine polysulfone substrate. …”

Synthesis and characterization of novel thin film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes embedded with halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) for water desalination by Ghanbari, M., Emadzadeh, D., Lau, W. J., Lai, S. O., Matsuura, T., Ismail, Ahmad Fauzi

“…The FO performance of all fabricated TFN membranes in terms of water permeability and reverse solute flux was compared and the best performing membrane which showed good balance between permeability and solute flux, among all, was selected for further organic fouling investigation. …”

Synthesis and characterization of thin film nanocomposite forward osmosis membrane with hydrophilic nanocomposite support to reduce internal concentration polarization by Emadzadeh, D., Lau, Woei Jye, Matsuura, T., Ismail, A. F., Rahbari-Sisakht, M.

“…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 the polysulfone (PSI) substrate in order to reduce ICP. …”
