Abstract
Forward osmosis is considered as an emerging technology that can compete with existing methods of desalination, purification, and concentration of natural and wastewater on the global water market. This review presents possible applications of forward osmosis, technological schemes, and the most striking case studies. The issues of forward osmosis membranes development and improvement, composition and regeneration of draw solutions, membrane fouling are considered. Special attention is paid to the problems arising during forward osmosis operation as well as to energy and economic assessment of new technology. Conclusions are drawn about the status of the commercial implementation of forward osmosis and the main barriers that stand in the way of its development.
期刊介绍：
The journal Membranes and Membrane Technologies publishes original research articles and reviews devoted to scientific research and technological advancements in the field of membranes and membrane technologies, including the following main topics:novel membrane materials and creation of highly efficient polymeric and inorganic membranes;hybrid membranes, nanocomposites, and nanostructured membranes;aqueous and nonaqueous filtration processes (micro-, ultra-, and nanofiltration; reverse osmosis);gas separation;electromembrane processes and fuel cells;membrane pervaporation and membrane distillation;membrane catalysis and membrane reactors;water desalination and wastewater treatment;hybrid membrane processes;membrane sensors;membrane extraction and membrane emulsification;mathematical simulation of porous structures and membrane separation processes;membrane characterization;membrane technologies in industry (energy, mineral extraction, pharmaceutics and medicine, chemistry and petroleum chemistry, food industry, and others);membranes and protection of environment (“green chemistry”).The journal has been published in Russian already for several years, English translations of the content used to be integrated in the journal Petroleum Chemistry. This journal is a split off with additional topics.
