Exploring the limitations of osmotically assisted reverse osmosis: membrane fouling and the limiting flux by Peters, Christian D., Li, Dan, Mo, Zijing, Hankins, Nicholas P., She, Qianhong

“…While both surface flushing and osmotic backwashing (OB) were found to be highly effective when using pure water, a full flux recovery could not be achieved when a nonpure solution was used during OB due to severe internal clogging during OB. All in all, the presented findings provided significant implications for OARO operation and fouling control.…”
